I primarily use Observable to build interactive tools, as opposed to Jupyter which I use more for exploratory development and analysis.

Here are some of my Observable notebooks which illustrate the kind of things I use it for:

https://observablehq.com/@simonw/openai-clip-in-a-browser

Those are both from https://simonwillison.net/2023/Oct/23/embeddings/

https://observablehq.com/@simonw/gpt4all-models provides a readable version of JSON file on GitHub

https://observablehq.com/@simonw/blog-to-newsletter is the tool I used to assemble my newsletter

A killer feature of Observable notebooks for me is that they provide the shortest possible route from having an idea to having a public URL with a tool that I can bookmark and use later.
