Graph view for Jupyter-style experiments is a good idea
From 2 comments
I've been waiting for a graph view for Jupyter since it was called IPython. This is great!
higginsc on HNI've been working on a similar project for a bit now, really think this is a good idea and good job for shipping!

From 2 comments
The live demo is a really neat detail, but it can be overwhelming for an uninitiated user. I first didn't even notice it was a live demo until my mouse was over it and I wanted…
rsp1984 on HNI think the live demo is awesome! I think you should keep it. But: it also took me a while to see that it is interactive. There should be a big label "Live Demo" above it (the…

How is it different from notebooks like Evernote or Jupyter
From 2 comments
Could you give more info on how this is better (or when this is better) than an ordinary notebook like evernote. I read through the homepage and found this: > which lets you…
jonahx on HNIs this intended to be a notebook in the jupyter sense or in the evernote sense? Initially I thought the former (and so pretty much discounted the possibility of using it as a…
