@ctrekker and I are excited to announce our new service, Glass Notebook, which we have been working on for the past two years. Glass Notebook is a service that allows users to link any GitHub repository to our site and generate an interactive (or static if preferred) site composed of Pluto notebooks in one click, similar to index — Interactive Computational Thinking — MIT. Our backend uses a modified form of PlutoSliderServer.jl, which allows users to host Pluto notebooks with interactive Sliders, TextFields, and any other @binded elements.
We are aware that there are still some rough edges, but we want to announce this to the general Julia community and gauge interest by inviting you to join our waitlist. The waitlist will help us determine the level of interest from the Julia community for our service. You can sign up for the waitlist at our website https://www.glass-notebook.com.
We plan to offer a free version of our service for static notebooks and an affordable option for individuals priced somewhere around $5-10 a month for interactive notebook exports. Our goal is to make it easy for users to publish static and interactive notebooks just by linking their GitHub account. The more users that Glass Notebook has, the cheaper we can make this - hence this announcement will help us plan around that! (Also, we plan on implementing pre-computed interactive Pluto notebook publishing capabilities in the near future, which will drastically reduce the cost of hosting for us and eventual users.)
If you’re interested in our service, please visit the link (https://www.glass-notebook.com), and we will keep you updated on our progress and upcoming developments.
