GitHub and Jupyter IPython Notebooks
This is amazing. I think ipython notebook is fantastic in all regards. However, I feel there's a bit of an elephant in the room. The main tools I use as a programmer are shell and a text editor. I'm not about to start writing code in a web browser[1]. Is there any hope that there will be a good workflow for somehow editing .ipynb from a text editor or is that antithetical to the design? Could markdown perhaps be used as a primary editing format to target ipynb?<p>Looks like there's at least one project doing that. <a href="https://github.com/aaren/notedown" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/aaren/notedown</a><p>And there's the emacs-specific project <a href="https://github.com/tkf/emacs-ipython-notebook" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/tkf/emacs-ipython-notebook</a><p>[1] EDIT: I mean, not right now anyway. I've got a feeling that statement could seem a bit dated later in my life...
