Hi, yes! I like your project. I chatted about similar things on your launch post here. You also address this explicitly on your product which I appreciate.

What I'm getting at is that these browser notebooks try to get at the desire and feeling for rapid exploration and iteration. Losing context by having a crashing logic error is a massive blow to that ideal.

I'm not saying that your or anyone elses product is only for "rapid prototyping" but it's still true that larger projects could be bit by the same errors. When I crash my native code I C-c and I'm back in an instant. When I crash browser notebook code I lose a bit of time and unsaved code. I crash browsers often in creative coding where I write many loops and don't always do them right.

It may also be that my chrome and firefox experience on linus is worse than standard, I don't know. But I have crashed my entire browser in chrome when using observable, and I thought that wasn't supposed to be possible.
