This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Pluto.jl

    🎈 Simple reactive notebooks for Julia

  • This has been discussed before but I am watching the development of https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl so that it can provide some solid alternative.

  • codebraid

    Live code in Pandoc Markdown

  • For the Python in markdown case, you might be interested in one of my projects that allows executable Python code (including optional Jupyter kernel support) in Pandoc markdown: https://github.com/gpoore/codebraid. Pandoc does all the document parsing (there is no regex preprocessor for extracting code), so converting markdown to markdown often works particularly well.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Neptune.jl

    Simple (Pluto-based) non-reactive notebooks for Julia

  • If you're interested in Pluto.jl, I recently saw an announcement about Neptune.jl[1], which appears to remove some of the reactive nature of Pluto. An interesting read anyway and maybe worth trying.

  • ISLR

    Introduction to Statistical Learning

  • I recently discovered R Markdown. Started doing the ISLR examples with it.

    I need to figure out how to better fit images so I don’t have pages with large gaps

    Also, you can now embed executable Python in the files.

  • jupytext

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

  • I haven't use it myself but apparently jupytext (https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext) allows you to save Jupyter notebooks as R markdown files.

  • here_here

    I love the here package. Here's why.

  • You can avoid project related issues by using the here package.

  • rmarkdown

    Dynamic Documents for R

  • We have tried for almost four years without success: https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown/issues/1020 We did hear back from Github for a few times, but there has been no sign of progress at all. We will truly appreciate it if anyone can connect us to a Github contact to push this forward.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
