Observable Framework seems like a nice competitor to Quarto. It seems like it has far fewer features, but some other more specialized features.
Things they can both do:
- use markdown to build websites and apps
- Use Observable for plots and reactivity
- Load data from any format, using any language
Things Quarto excels at:
- more full featured - can be a blog, a site, etc.
- can execute raw R or Python code.
Things Observable seems better at (based on glancing the docs only):
- More beautiful
- More powerful reactivity
Seems like observable is good for people who prefer JavaScript for plotting.

Loading data using Python (though there are default CSV and Apache parquet/arrow loaders too)
