Hi all! Quick update on my notebook project TypeCell. I’ve worked on loading and saving Markdown files directly from Github and the local file system. Basically, I can now use Markdown files to create interactive notebooks: https://www.loom.com/share/1d858e72e00742989d66c1eeda28a53a. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? All welcome!

Looks great! what's the main use case? prototyping? teaching? sharing examples for projects?

Yousef El-Dardiry 2021-07-28 13:51:09

All things you mentioned πŸ™‚ Eventually also rapid application development

I think this particular feature (compatibility with markdown files), will be useful for sharing examples and live documentation

you may want to check the livemd format from https://github.com/livebook-dev/livebook in case you find something useful or maybe for interoperability (or to save you some work πŸ˜„)

This week I demonstrate my vision for integrating with existing tools built on the web. When other makers publish information about the output of a tool (ports, types) the data can then be used by other tools, such as Ratio. In the video, I show how the data from a color palette generator that is hosted on CodePen can be used inside Ratio:

The main idea is that tool makers would not only implement β€œexport” features, but also publish/broadcast the data so that other tools can use them. When the external tool loads, there’s some sort of handshake, where information about the data types are communicated and from there on, data can be broadcasted and received.

One usecase I can think of for ratio is component documentation. Every app typically has a styleguide, I think this will fit nicely as a styleguide generator. If I were to change data in one workspace, can I effect the state in another workspace ? Can I build complex screen layouts with flexbox and export it ? I use the following tools for helping me with design
