Agreed. I wish we would have phrased it more congenially, especially given William's good relationship with the project already.

Thanks. I really like that letter!

(disclaimer: I'm on the Jupyter steering council, but speaking unofficially...) Very good point about wanting to work together. And we definitely do want to work together with people (and we have a good relationship with William in p

It doesn't (yet). I really hope eventually it will include a number of debugging tools, a variable explorer being one of them.

One thing people use it for is ephemeral computations that they don't need/want to be saved, so they don't want to bother with dealing with a notebook file. Another thing we could support in the future is easily switching ker

That's a cool idea. If you launch the browser in application mode, does it do the same thing (i.e., appear to the OS as a separate application with window grouping?) We hope to support tearing out tabs into new child windows, so you ca

That's the only way commands are added. Every command on there was added by a plugin. You can see a simple example in the about plugin: a command is created at https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterlab/blob/

One of the things about JupyterLab is that it really emphasizes extending and customizing the environment. Think of it as a platform for web-based applications and a reference set of components. We've tried hard to make the underlying

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I've opened an issue: https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterlab/issues/405 .

(disclaimer: I'm one of the authors of the scipy talk the post is about...) First: JupyterLab is definitely still alpha-level software, and is undergoing very rapid iteration. I notice that a lot of comments are missing one of the most

Thanks for the feedback on the announcement blog post. I added a short description and link to the project home page at the top of the blog post after reading the feedback here. Thanks!

Cool, thanks for sharing! Another project providing layouts we've been using in the Jupyter project is the phosphor library: http://phosphorjs.github.io/ (demo of layouts at http://phosphorjs.github.io/

Thanks for your feedback. We're homeschooling, so we are the curriculum :). It seems like our child's hands are just getting big enough to fit on a keyboard, and some of the schooling curriculum we are doing will be much easier i

Jupyter dev here. FYI, we're currently working on building a new Jupyter web interface that resembles a more classic IDE experience, which we are calling JupyterLab. A first version is progressively coming together, and is planned to

This is a nice demo. The blurb about flex-basis should be corrected, though. It says on page 33 that flex-basis basically is a min-width for flex items, but instead flex-basis sets the default (main) size, not the minimum size.

SageMathCloud is a completely new thing, which is much more comprehensive than either the IPython notebook or the previous Sage notebook. It provides the ability to run arbitrary services and connect to them, and provides a very easy way

Are you talking about a small group all working together on an IPython notebook + source files? IPython doesn't (yet) support collaborative editing by itself, but SageMathCloud ( https://cloud.sagemath.com/ , source at

Cool! You can see some of the widgets people have been doing at https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/widgets . If you come up with something, let us know and add your widget there.

Jonathan Frederic just updated the example notebooks for widgets before the release: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ipython/ipython/tree/mast... . We've also listed a few examples of cool widget

Jupyter definitely hasn't lost interest - the IPython team is currently spending a lot of time finishing up IPython 3.0 and seeking funding (grants, etc.). IPython 3.0 is due to be released soon now (3.0 beta 1 was tagged a few days a

At least for this research, Sage may have been better. This code follows the random matrix example to show that Sage gives at least consistent results in one of the cases they pointed out. Here's the public SageMathCloud worksheet: h

Just FYI, Sage also has the Sage Cell Server, which is similar in that you can do calculations on a webpage, but also allows embedding live cells in webpages easily, sage interacts, 3d graphics, etc. For example, here is your calculation:

How do the interactive bokeh plots work? Is it necessary to start up a separate server, or can it work through the widget communication channels?

Some Drake University students and I have been working on wrapping the three.js library for 3d webgl graphics and are nearly complete [0]. We also implemented a simple webcam widget [1]. Here's a live demo illustrating both, using the

I see the docs mention that these only work when importing modules. The dev version of IPython lets you transform the AST of code that is typed in the REPL. It would be really cool to see an IPython AST transformer based on this. Here is

Would it make a difference if your editor had better support for these sorts of things? For example, collapsed comments, where its shows only the first line, might help a lot. Then you could put a summary in the first line and elaborate i
