Hello I want to deploy a Observable Editor on my local server, is there a open source code which can finish this?

Any updates about it? Is there a way to work with an Observable notebook offline and to import back modifications into the Observable cloud?

Thanks for checking in. The thread Aaron mentioned talks about number of offline editors. I assume you already looked at those. There are no plans yet to support a round-trip offline editing experience.

Hi @Cobus ! Yes, I’ve already checked out some of the pointers mentioned in the thread. I haven’t explored them in depth, but it looks like there isn’t yet a frictionless way to work with notebooks in an “Observable” fashion (i.e., Web interface, cells, reactiveness, … ). It’d great using a full-fled…

@floatingpurr Observable is pretty smart about synchronising any edits you made while working offline, once a connection has been reestablished. This even includes file attachments. If you anticipate that you’ll go offline, it should suffice to just open a new notebook and have it sync when you’re b…

A couple of days ago, I gave a workshop on Observable. I was asked if Observable can work also offline, like Jupyter. I like to use observablehq and, TBH, I’ve never thought about an offline version. But probably some people are interested in using an observablehq-like platform offline. I guess tha…

[image] floatingpurr: Yep. Pre-loading a notebook is the first thing I tried, but you can easily run into the problem you mentioned. You could probably create a notebook that loads all libraries explicitely, to prime your caches. However, I don’t see how a completely offline workflow is suppo…

Agree. As you pointed out, case 2 can be completely covered by integrating the runtime into a custom project. You’ll probably rely on a completely different UI and workflow (e.g., non-web-based). But I guess that it’s not a big deal for the users interested in this flavor. Case 1 looks way more com…

I think the answer is no, mainly because the strong emphasis on community building (which I find myself to be very grateful for). The most official response to this question I know of is here:
