Hi, I’m one of the founders of Nextjournal. I haven’t tried Domino Datalab so I can’t give you a comparison but I can speak to the vision of Nextjournal: We market towards Data Science because our feature set (automatic versioning, reproducibility, collaboration, etc) applies very well to many pain points currently existing in the field. But Nextjournal is not limited to Data Science. We designed it as a general purpose literate programming environment that should be able to address many different use cases: generative art, cloud APIs, spreadsheet-like applications, molecular dynamics simulations, you name it. The way we want to achieve this is by allowing people to extend Nextjournal eventually, by bringing their own languages and by implementing their own components that can be used in a notebook and shared with other users (e.g. a spreadsheet component or a task board component). We are already building some parts of Nextjournal with Nextjournal, like our component for cloning GitHub repositories into a notebook. We think this will eventually make the platform, as a whole, much more understandable and learnable and will give our users much more agency in what they want to accomplish.
