Tried to play around with some JSX but unfortunately it keeps throwing the error that React is not defined. Looks cool though!

The author published a working React & JSX example here that might be useful: https://natto.dev/@paul/1dcbeb7583624bf19d69b9942271a703.

Some background on Twitter too: https://twitter.com/_paulshen/status/1380292393291841541

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Warning people that they won't be able to get back to this site is not an overreaction.

FWIW: In every desktop browser I've used and in Safari on iOS, long pressing the back button for a few seconds will bring up a list of recent history and allow you to get back when the button is hijacked by a page.

I need something like this but open-source so I can run it locally...

I am building https://www.jigdev.com which runs observable hq as a canvas locally. It's not open source as of now but there'll be a always free version for it.

Focus on the standard library (data tables, most useful excel functions, networking) and you'll have my money too! Very cool project!

That's what I like to hear! I agree: standard library needs more stuffing. Working on it!

This site's negativity/nit picking is sometimes incredible. This is an incredibly cool product that is by their own words "very alpha" and people jump to "OMG i know what hijacking is so I'll point it out" for attention. It's kind of a tired trope. This is obviously not an intentional hacking of users but rather a quite harmless bug in the implementation of an undo/permalinking feature. Great job to the devs and I ho…

It looks like an innocent bug and to get back to HN takes me two clicks rather than one, not really something I can get too excited about, particularly when it showing something new.

Not ideal but long clicking on the back button show history.

While this is indeed amazing I think it suffers from not being a PWA.

Being able to stuff it on its own little instance with no "back" to go to would allow people getting a cursory look at it to divert attention from the whole usability etiquette and concentrate on the thing itself, plus there might be some interesting gains in doing so too.

One other thing I'd love to have is an interactive tutorial, I'd love to be able to follow some steps to understand the thing better.
