My use case is a tool that produces living documents mixing writing with charts, data, and tabular results that can be delivered to nontechnical clients and updated and modified by staff with excel knowledge.

I’ve found various JS notebooks like starboard and observable JS to be the closest thing, but they’re really not there. PowerBI is a Microsoft solution but it’s dashboard focused.

This sounds pretty much indeed like something I made Ellx for. When you say the notebooks like Observable are "really not there", what exactly is the show stopper for you? Btw, please ping me on Ellx Discord: let's talk!
