I appreciate the nod to "File over app"[1] in the announcement. It's so cool that a Markdown file with code blocks can be the source for complex data visualizations and dashboards. Interoperability of this kind makes me giddy. I played around with editing an Observable site from Obsidian and it works great[2].

We’ve talked about and shared your “File over app” manifesto so many times internally over the last few months. It’s one of those tweets that gets immortalized as the perfect crystallization of an ethos that we might otherwise have only been able to gesture at vaguely. It gives the ethos weight and clarity and credibility, and it’s such a relief to be able to point to it! I’m very grateful. —an Observable employee

My mind immediately went to how these Dasboards could be integrated in Obsidian, and seeing the `import` dependency graph reflected in Obsidian's graph view.
