This is a cool idea! I often end up just using replit to play with a library, something more like Livebook makes a lot of sense. I like that you're using markdown too, makes these files much more useful than Jupyter ones.
- nichochar 2y agoThanks! Yes when we asked people what they used to prototype, we got the weirdest answers. Replit seems very heavyweight, and isn't local (always feels worse). For non-npm things, we heard that a lot of people open up a browser console to use it as a REPL. I think we can do better, hoping Srcbook can cover these use cases well. The Markdown is a really neat idea borrowed from Livebook. It allows for really good diffing if you want to version control them, and makes reviewing diffs easier. As a bonus a lot of things can read markdown and render it nicely for you.
- SebastianKra 2y agoJupyter supports MD, or is that another thing that DataSpell added on top of it?
- mcintyre1994 2y agoI haven't used it for a while, but last time I did it had a pretty horrible not very diff-friendly JSON serialization format. They definitely could have changed that though!
