    I'm not 100% sure I understand your request-for-guide, but if you create your own repo based on the jupyterlite/demo template, you can then put your notebooks in `content` dir[1] and they will automatically become available. The CI build step that does this is here[2]. So in some sense you don't need a guide, it just works ;)

  • Fortran on WebAssembly
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Apr 2024
    A little context: this dive into Fortran is part of the excellent work George has been doing on WebR, to get R running in the browser. The R sources contain a fair bit of Fortran code, and I believe WebR originally used f2c to compile the Fortran to C first, before compiling that to wasm.

    With the patches to LLVM Flang, WebR can be built with a real Fortran compiler.

    I think George didn't want to say it directly in the blog post, but he has said that he's hoping that Flang would take his patches or implement better ones. That would be a win-win -- these patches wouldn't need to be maintained separately, and since unmodified Flang would be able to compile to wasm, it would benefit other projects out there that use Fortran.

    I don't think it's close to useful - but the R in webassembly webR, that runs in the browser looks interesting.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing demo and webr you can also consider the following projects:

jupyterlite - Wasm powered Jupyter running in the browser 💡

BrowserFS - BrowserFS is an in-browser filesystem that emulates the Node JS filesystem API and supports storing and retrieving files from various backends.

starboard-notebook - In-browser literate notebooks

jupytext - Jupyter Notebooks as Markdown Documents, Julia, Python or R scripts

thebe - Turn static HTML pages into live documents with Jupyter kernels.
