Scientific publishing keeps borrowing the Spotify metaphor, but most versions focus on access and UX rather than structure. This piece argues that the real shift in music wasn’t streaming albums more efficiently, but changing what moved thr

One possibility is to use a tool like MyST Markdown, which can export to many different LaTeX templates, or create a website. https://myst-tools.org/docs/mystjs/creating-pdf-documents Then the switching of templat

JATS is gaining adoption in publishing, but is difficult for scientists to actually _author_ in. This is one of the main reasons behind tools like MyST ( https://myst-tools.org ) and Quarto ( https://quarto.org/ ) -

That is where we are headed for sure - our version control allows very granular addressing of content (i.e. an equation or figure). We haven't quite got to the hashing stage yet, because we aren't quite sure what all fits in the c

Completely agree - a lot of what we are trying to do is surface these ideas, especially around editing of content not just viewing it. You might be interested in some of his recent work: https://inrupt.com/solid which has s

Happy to be in touch to hear more about your workflows. We do have custom deployments of Curvenote (e.g. private cloud) on our roadmap! Let me know if you want to hear more <rowan@curvenote.com>.

I have also seen a lot of that sort of file-naming-version-control still in use. Git is really far out of reach for most people, and IMO not always the most appropriate for writing workflows where the version control sort of lives at the pa

Thanks! The ability to copy/reference code and figures from a notebook to multiple other articles/notes and have comments and updates between all the places you reference a Block is something that is really handy when researching

I think that the collaboration workflows in academia could use some improvements for sure! A lot of the challenges I saw were around multi-disciplinary work, where the collaboration was necessary - but pretty limited. Curvenote is aiming to

Lots of similarities between Jupyter and Matlab. Jupyter is open source (jupyter.org) and is great for exploratory data analysis and integrating documentation/thought process with markdown. We are helping link that environment into you

Thanks, over time in academia we would like to move our pricing towards departments or institutions paying, so our pricing model will likely evolve with that shift. Right now Curvenote is free for public projects (and one private one!) - an

Hi HN! I have been working on components/tools to help with interactive scientific writing and authoring explorable explanations. The collection at curvenote.dev has two main parts (1) a WYSIWYG text editor/schema; and (2) a set o
