In this demo I’m exploring mixing a Live Programming Notebook with a block based editor like Notion. This unlocks creating Reactive Documents you might know from Bret Victor’s demoes: https://www.loom.com/share/6fd5637254584cfea8de315f0f3b532c

🔗 TypeCell and Reactive Documents

Great demo! I've been wanting a note taking app with coding functionality for quite some time now. Observable is the closest I've found, but not there yet for me. What are you using for reactivity/updating?

Thanks! Underlying it currently uses MobX as FRP library, but I’m also working on https://github.com/yousefED/reactive and will probably migrate to this later

That's cool! I've been writing my own FRP library as well. I'm curious to know your motivation to use a different library.

André Terron 2021-08-05 04:57:03

For a while I thought about creating a "FRP benchmark" repo, to test a bunch of libs in different use cases

@André Terron some more info about that library in this thread! https://futureofcoding.slack.com/archives/CCL5VVBAN/p1620246305093800 (let’s keep related conversation there)

[May 5th, 2021 1:25 PM] yousefdardiry: I just published a javascript Functional Reactive programming library @ https://github.com/YousefED/reactive|https://github.com/YousefED/reactive. Goal was to make it super minimal to integrate into existing apps, so in React you only need to add one hook (useReactive). Feedback welcome!

Thank you for sharing!

It's great to see a reactive notebook based on TypeScript like this. Really great ideas, here!
