jupyterlab-desktop VS gutenberg

An alternative in the Python world that is definitely worth looking into is the JupyterLab Desktop app, which is a standalone installer that is cross-platform and works great for beginners (no command line needed): https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop?tab=readme-...

See my other comment in the main thread with more info.

JupyterLab Desktop supports remote server connections out of the box (you just install one locally and a plain JupyterLab on the server using pip).

How JupyterLab Desktop works

Although jupyter notebooks work fine in VSCode you could also try jupyter desktop: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop

Learning syntax of a new language is trivial, but also not very useful if you haven't learned programming in general. Learning programming is a lifelong process, you are never done with it. It's just a different way of thinking and problemsolving and there will always be problems that are just beyond you, its kind of like math or physics this way. But problems aren't unsolvable for you because you lack language, but because the problem is simply harder than what you can wrap your head around, or larger in scope than what you with limited time can pull off. But, knowing a little bit of programming and little bit of python can be a powerful thing in many jobs. Depends on which problems you need to solve of course. Get JupyterLab for desktop to play around with, it's probably worth your time. https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop

I am on the MacOS, and I would like to access the jlab executable like this webpage describes:

Case study 3: Zola

So after shopping around a bit I found a simple, dependency-less static site generator called Zola. The lack of dependencies sounded very attractive after all the headaches trying to update my Gatsby modules. I wanted to give Zola a try and see what tradeoffs I would need to make coming form a React-based framework to this Rust-based generator.

I think you're thinking about Zola: https://github.com/getzola/zola

But yes, if I were to recommend something, it'd be Zola given that there's just one executable that you need to run and there's absolutely no setup required.

If I were to start again from scratch, I'd likely use Zola as SSG (https://www.getzola.org/)

I've used Zola (https://github.com/getzola/zola) for a static project homepage a few years ago to showcase examples with a simple description and a wasm app embedded in the page, it worked perfectly for me and the docs was clear on how to use it. It was very easy to set up along with a GitHub action to automatically update the wasm binaries when needed. It is definitely a tool I keep in my mental toolbox as a good default.

I'm currently learning https://www.getzola.org/.

It's more manual than idy like but it's gonna be for a small personal and work website so I don't mind much.

It's super fast.

Doesn't seem to fit your use casr but still.
