The idea sounds great! However, I see some potential issues. First, IIUC using this tool means that researchers will have to edit their code within it, which may be fine for small edits, but for larger changes, most people would prefer to rely on their favourite IDE. Moreover, if the scripts take a long time to run, this could be problematic and slow down workflows.
So, I think this “notebook” could be excellent for projects with a small amount of code, but it may be less suitable for larger projects.
Anyway, it’s a really cool project, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it grows.
- viscousviolin 2y agoI had the same thought - researchers who are used to having their workflows in VS Code, for example, could be missing out on a lot of tools that they are used to. I'm their description they talk about how they want to meet researchers where they're at, "building bridges" to existing workflows and software. So I'm hopeful that they will consider integrating with popular programming and data analysis set-ups. The project seems to be just getting started so it'll be interesting to see where this goes :)
