Hey HN - I'm the creator of Idyll, it is really cool to see it here! To respond to the other comment - I did post it a few months ago but it didn't get much traction then.
Happy to answer any questions about the project, or why you would want to use something like this.
- abhirag 9y agoThanks for making this :) As of now I just export Jupyter Notebooks to html, throw them on my site and call it a day but have been meaning to try Idyll for some data visualization.
- rmbeard 9y agoPresumably you can switch between idyll and Jupiter notebooks using note down and nbconvert with a bit of extra work.
- abhirag 9y agoWell, I have already put some extra work in making jupyter notebooks look good when exported as html (for example - http://abhirag.in/articles/train_of_thought_1.html http://abhirag.in/articles/train_of_thought_1.html). I am planning to use Idyll for d3 plots and such, but thanks for the idea, exporting to markdown and then using Idyll was something I hadn't thought about.
- rmbeard 9y agoNice notebook more railways around the world should be using notebooks.
- arve0 9y agoHi! I'm thinking about using this for creating tests in school. How would one send state to a backend? Use refs?
- mathisonian 9y agoIn that case you'd want to make a component that would post the state to the backend. You can use Idyll's variables to pass the state to the component that sends the request. For example, here is a page that uses firebase to persist state https://mathisonian.github.io/idyll/firebase/ https://mathisonian.github.io/idyll/firebase/. The custom components for that page are here https://github.com/mathisonian/idyll/tree/master/firebase/components https://github.com/mathisonian/idyll/tree/master/firebase/co...
