Show HN: Kyso – an easy way to share Jupyter notebooks

117 pointsby eoinmurray92almost 8 years ago
Hi HN,<p>We&#x27;re the founders of<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kyso.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kyso.io</a><p>We want to make it really easy to share data-science within teams, and we&#x27;ve started with Jupyter notebooks.<p>We render the notebooks really nicely, so you can embed interactive visualisations like Bokeh, and Plotly plots.<p>Another nice thing is we allow you to hide the code for non-technical readers, so you basically get a beautiful data blog.<p>Look at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kyso.io&#x2F;laura&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kyso.io&#x2F;laura&#x2F;</a> for some examples.<p>We really want to hear your feedback, let us know what you think!

We use AirBnB&#x27;s Knowledge Repo project[1][2] for things like this at my company. I love the idea of making it easier to deploy things like this though.<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;airbnb-engineering&#x2F;scaling-knowledge-at-airbnb-875d73eff091" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;airbnb-engineering&#x2F;scaling-knowledge-at-a...</a><p>2. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;airbnb&#x2F;knowledge-repo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;airbnb&#x2F;knowledge-repo</a>

Could you elaborate a bit on what you offer that out-of-the-box Jupyter does not?<p>From my admittedly limited experience with Jupyter, it is already an interactive coding and visualization tool which can be exported to HTML.<p>Can you not include Plotly plots in vanilla Jupyter?<p>The kyso homepage says that you beautifully render the notebooks? Given that they&#x27;re already html, does that mean custom style sheets? Something more?<p>Or is the main value add just a wrapper over git to make versioning and sharing easier?<p>Thanks.

So what do you actually do? I work with Jupyter notebooks daily. I&#x27;m not really sure what you are actually doing with them even after visiting both of your links. Are you hosting deployments on the web? Changing how common plotting tools are displayed?<p>Having the expandable&#x2F;collapsible code is nifty for sure, but that&#x27;s the main feature I noticed.<p>If I can offer some perhaps unsolicited feedback, I&#x27;d like for you guys to make it more clear (explitcly clear) what exactly you are offering. Your main web page just looks like a sales pitch for jupyter notebooks in general.

My favourite thing about Jupyter notebooks is that you can render them locally to avoid the Jupyter hassle if you don&#x27;t have it installed for some reason (or if you don&#x27;t want to run it).<p>Upon reading this, I decided to implement a renderer of Github-hosted files (as their renderer is painfully slow and doesn&#x27;t work on phones) to further simplify notebook distribution. I haven&#x27;t looked into Bokeh and other javascripty extensions, but it might be solvable as well. So thanks for the inspiration!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=12243562" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=12243562</a>

I&#x27;ve always wanted a way to do collaborative editing ala google docs in a Jupyter notebook. Does anyone know if there are existing tools that do similar things?

I would pay a LOT if I can upload a notebook (jupyter or Zeppelin) and have it available as a true multi-user dashboard (like a form with input and output)

You guys should consider nteract&#x27;s commutable as a frontend: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nteract&#x2F;commutable" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nteract&#x2F;commutable</a>

You can also toggle code cells of Jupyter notebooks in Plotly: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;plot.ly&#x2F;~empet&#x2F;14371" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;plot.ly&#x2F;~empet&#x2F;14371</a>

I just got this error: Error! { &quot;line&quot;: 7, &quot;column&quot;: 2607, &quot;sourceURL&quot;: &quot;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kyso.io&#x2F;_next&#x2F;cfa0fec92f8264fb4f4d21558810e9ef&#x2F;app.js&quot;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kyso.io&#x2F;_next&#x2F;cfa0fec92f8264fb4f4d21558810e9ef&#x2F;app.j...</a> }<p>This looks really good though! Good work!

Technically speaking the prefix is Show HN. So it appears in the &quot;show&quot; section. Launch HN is not a supported prefix.

Shameless plug: I built a free version of this (for R) a few months ago:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rnotebook.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rnotebook.io</a><p>Adoption hasn&#x27;t been great, so it&#x27;s probably going to stay free for a while. Enjoy!

Is this just a UI in front of Jupyter Hub? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jupyterhub&#x2F;jupyterhub" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jupyterhub&#x2F;jupyterhub</a>

Just got some feedback there that the command line app is only working for node.js v8.0 and above!<p>Will be releasing a node v6.0 compatible version in the next 2 days, and an node independent version very soon!!
