Hi ageron,

Some feedback for you regarding your post above

1. Please add the package Plots to your colab notebook template by default
2. Please make it clear to the user that “Reload this page and continue to the next section.” means press the RELOAD button on your webbrowser. I spent too much time looking for the option to reload the page on the google website
3. Inform your user that to write new julia code on colab notebook, they first need to click on the “+ Code” button on the top of the page and then look for the new code section to add in the julia code. Not every newbie is familiar with Google colab notebook
4. Inform the user, that they need to have a google account, to use google drive. The easiest way is to set up a gmail account even if they do not use gmail.

By the way, I appreciate the work you have done to get julia to work with colab
