Node.js Notebooks
- abovechange 5y agoDefinitely going to test it!
- stolenmerch 5y agoAfter some light testing, this seems to work really well. I've had issues with other Javascript kernels for Jupyter and I personally don't care for the UX of Observable, so this is exciting.
- lostintangent 5y agoOut of curiosity: what is it about Observable that you don’t care for?
- stolenmerch 5y agoNothing huge, just don't personally care for evaluated output above the cell. Kinda breaks all the conventions of the command line, Jupyter, etc. Not that I couldn't get used to it, but originally Observable output below the cell but then switched in some update and I never really went back. Such a minor little pet peeve, I know.
- arnley 5y agoPretty neat. But seems to lack Quokka (https://quokkajs.com/ https://quokkajs.com/) ease of use at the moment.
- alesso_x 5y agoI'm a huge fan of Don Jayamanne. He also made the original python extension for vscode. I always wondered why no one made a better node.js repl. I wish there was something like ipython for nodejs.
- qbasic_forever 5y agoThere's a jupyter kernel for node, several of them actually. https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels This is probably the one you want to check out: https://github.com/n-riesco/ijavascript https://github.com/n-riesco/ijavascript There's one built specifically for typescript evaluation too.
- chadykamar 5y agohttps://github.com/nteract/nteract https://github.com/nteract/nteract has a somewhat Jupyter-like Node.js Kernel

- int_19h 5y agoThe official Python VSCode extension from Microsoft is itself a further development of that one (indeed, you can still see that it's a fork on GitHub: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python).
- traspler 5y agoTo try out simple things I like to use https://runjs.app/ https://runjs.app/
- d--b 5y agoLike that? https://runkit.com https://runkit.com
- getcrunk 5y agoWhat are some use cases you use this for or could use this for, for an average developer or generic things.
- sarsway 5y agonot sure myself, but could be useful to make some quick visualization of some database. often I just want to know some random stuff, so I'll use a SQL query, this looks like a neat way to do that, get some graphs too.
- richeyryan 5y agoSomething I've experimented a bit with in the past is having something like Storybook for API modules. Rather than jumping out to postman, you could just have your notebook that calls your API functions. So far the stumbling block is always ES Modules. Usually the client code uses them and Node always makes them a pain to deal with. Hopefully the situation will be better in another couple of years.

- dusted 5y agoThat's cool, it's what hedonjs tries to achieve, but much nicer.
- bugBunny 5y agowhat is this good for?
- lewispollard 5y agoI realise this is probably obvious to most people who're familiar with the author's work, but I was looking at the README trying to figure out if this is just a VS Code thing or not. It doesn't say (though it has screenshots of VS Code, nothing in the README says it's a VS Code extension). It does say it in the "about" section of the repo, which I rarely actually look at on Github.
- tpoacher 5y agoIodide was THE notebook format. I was very sad to hear the project was abandoned. :/
- spacec0wb0y 5y agoThis looks very cool. Especially the ploty integration. As a frontend JS dev - I feel like I need a good walkthrough blog post to really understand how this works - the REPL/notebook concept is new to me but it's instantly attractive
