I didn't think Fatmap was based on mapbox at all? I thought it was their own custom renderer

I think you're referring to the "inlay hint" API, which is different from being able to visualize any HTML in the current text editor, like Hydrogen is able to: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/

But with Hydrogen you could do that in a regular Python script without needing to create a notebook or think in terms of cells. There's an example of this in the Hydrogen readme: https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen

That's exactly my complaint though. I don't want to work in a notebook frame of mind. I don't want to have to demarcate `#%%` every time I run code (especially because you'd need to scroll down to put another `#%%` where

I completely agree. For the last couple years I've used VSCode for everything _except_ interactive Python development because Atom + Hydrogen is just too good. I'm giving VS Code + its Jupyter extension a shot for now. It's s

VSCode doesn't support an API to put outputs inline in the text editor. IIRC there have been longstanding feature requests for it but it would probably have a performance hit. The closest thing is having a separate output window on the

There's an entire ecosystem built up to support this. PyO3 [1] connects Rust to Python, Maturin [2] is a build tool to package Python wheels easily, with a host of popular examples using Maturn + PyO3 [3]. There's even extensions

If I'm not mistaken that sounds more like LGPL than the AGPL?

If you skipped the "convert to MBTiles" part, you could host it on a normal web server... the issue is that requires each tile to be a separate file, and copying hundreds of millions of tiny files is brittle, slow, and expensive.

An exciting new standard here is pmtiles; a standardized way to store map tiles that can be used via http range requests. I believe planettiler has plans to add pmtiles output support as well. https://github.com/protomaps&#x

I'm building WebAssembly bindings to existing Rust libraries [0] and lower-dependency geospatial tools [1]. Rust makes it very easy to bind rust code to both WebAssembly and Python. And by avoiding some large C geospatial dependencies

by kylebarron 4y ago
oh I had a typo in my original comment. I meant *without* a notebook UI. i.e. I don't want to see a cell UI like a notebook. I want it to be just a normal Python file where the output shows up in line.

I personally found Atom + Hydrogen [0] to be the most productive interactive Python environment I've ever used. I really want to see VSCode adopt some way to run a Jupyter kernel for a Python file (with a notebook UI) and have rich res
