Fwd: nbinteract: Interactive Webpages From Notebooks

[Karl-Dieter Crisman]

Forwarding: This seems like something worth keeping an eye on, though I have no idea how it intersects with existing Sage interactivity and Sage cell embedding.

I'm Sam, a grad student at UC Berkeley where I help with Berkeley's data science education program—I served as the course instructor for Data 8 last summer and TA'd for the first offerings for Data 8 and Data 100. I'm working on a tool to generate interactive textbooks and web pages from Jupyter notebooks and it's now in a state where I'd like to share it with you.

The nbinteract package allows you to convert a notebook containing widgets into a standalone HTML page you can then host online for a textbook or a blog post. Here are some of things we use it for:

• Allowing readers to adjust parameters of a simulation.

• Creating interactive plots.

• Showing large tables without overflowing the page by letting the reader scrub through different rows and columns of the table.

Here’s a link to see it live.

You are the first people I'm sharing this with so I would love to hear your feedback, comments, and questions. I am actively developing nbinteract for educational use so your suggestions are super valuable to me. Feel free to leave a followup on this thread, send a chat message in our Gitter channel, or email me directly at saml...@berkeley.edu .

I am going to try it because I am interesting in interact
thanks for sharing
