starboard-notebook reviews and mentions

• JupyterLite is a JupyterLab distribution that runs in the browser

  The format is only partially invented, it follows Jupytext [0], but adds support for cell metadata. There is no obvious way to get that in fenced codeblocks, especially with the ability to spread it over multiple lines so it plays well with version control.

  One more consideration is that it's not "Markdown with code blocks interspersed", one might as well use plaintext or AsciiDoc.

  Of course there are tradeoffs.. I wish I had more time to work on it.

• A fast SQLite PWA notebook for CSV files

  This is really wonderful! The discussion about lay people's knowledge of sql reminded me that the Pandas API is often useful for non-sql folk. Likewise there are some projects similar to dirtylittlesql to bring Python data manipulation to the browser.

• Turns Jupyter notebooks into standalone web applications and dashboards

  You could consider an in browser notebook to get your cost down to near nothing - it depends a bit on what kind of tasks your students do whether they fit in the browser (one wouldn't train a large neural network in one for instance)

  There's Starboard (which I'm building, it's built specifically for the browser and can integrate into a larger app deeply) and JupyterLite (the closest you will get to JupyterLab in the browser), either can be a good choice depending on your requirements. Both use Pyodide for the Python runtime.

• Enabling COOP/COEP without touching the server

  A few examples of web-applications that have this problem are in-browser video converters using ffmpeg.wasm, a web-based notebook that supports Python and multithreaded Emscripten applications.

• Pyodide: Python for the Browser
  5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 May 2021

  If you want to play with Pyodide in a web notebook you can try Starboard [1][2].

  A sibling comment introduces JupyterLite and Brython, which are Jupyer-but-in-the-browser, whereas with Starboard I'm trying to create what Jupyter would have been if it were designed for the browser first.

  As it's all static and in-browser, you can embed a notebook (or multiple) in a blog post for instance to power interactive examples. The bundle size is a lot smaller than JupyerLite for the initial load - it's more geared towards fitting into existing websites than being a complete IDE like JupyerLab.
