Could you elaborate a bit on what you offer that out-of-the-box Jupyter does not?

From my admittedly limited experience with Jupyter, it is already an interactive coding and visualization tool which can be exported to HTML.

Can you not include Plotly plots in vanilla Jupyter?

The kyso homepage says that you beautifully render the notebooks? Given that they're already html, does that mean custom style sheets? Something more?

Or is the main value add just a wrapper over git to make versioning and sharing easier?

Thanks.



We host Jupyter notebooks online! We don't in anyway replace Jupyter.

So normally when you publish a notebook online - you'd use Github or http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/

Github doesn't allow the interactive graphs, and nbviewer wont actually host the notebooks for you (you need to link from somewhere else).

Let you just type `kyso create "new-study"` and `kyso push "new version"` and your notebook is live online

edit for spelling


So this would be a simpler alternative to, say, running my own jupyter server on a digitalocean box?


We currently host static renderings of the notebooks, for reading and sharing, where you can pull them down to your local installation of Jupyter to extend them.

On our roadmap is for Kyso to work like the Google drive integration, where you can use a jupyter kernel (https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter-drive) hosted anyway but server the notebooks from Kyso.

And we are also planning fully runnable notebooks too, we do aim to be the easiest way to run your own jupyter server.


You are more than free to make a PR to make publishing to Kyso from nteract one-click. We have publishing for github built-in and would love to have more.


Any example code of how to do this?
