Nice gallery and great idea to publish these with a "Launch in Deepnote" button. How is this different from publishing notebooks on Google Colab? Also, I'm seeing some rendering issues where my progress bar is printed repeatedly when it's supposed to get overwritten: https://deepnote.com/viewer/github/pinecone-io/examples/blob... Here's the Google Colab version for comparison: https://colab.research.google.com/github…

Thanks for the feedback! The main difference between us (Deepnote) and Colab is that we aim for a clean reading experience, and we optimize for speed.

Colab seems to load a notebook that has editable cells and you can start executing cells directly, so it doesn't feel as a "publishing" feature, more like straight up notebook sharing.

And thanks for the bug report, will look into that

Hey everyone, our team just built a tool to make your Github notebooks interactive and we would love for you to try it out. Just enter the GitHub URL of your (or any) public notebook and hit Render to instantly view the notebook. Your notebook will be rendered in an article-like layout and will get a table of contents. Anyone can fork it using the "Launch" button and play around with your code. The Deepnote viewer is…

I am a huge fan of Deepnote!

Have you considered / is there already a way to “import” an .ipynb into a DeepNote project?

Would be easier for users than to copy and paste code one cell at a time.

Thanks for the q! A follow-up comment here - if you look away from the publishing feature, the experience of Deepnote vs. Colab mainly differs in a) UI, b) breadth of integrations (Deepnote integrates with most of the data sources out there and plays well with the rest of your stack) and c) unlike Colab, Deepnote supports both real-time collaboration and asynchronous collaboration via comments - so quite literally Google docs / Figma meets notebooks.

One thing I wished they wouldn't do:

> Deepnote is completely free.

That's simply not true. The trial plan is completely free. Same as a gazillion other services. By all means, they should charge for their services and get rich, but Deepnote is not completely free.

Hey, Liz from the Deepnote team here. We don't actually have a trial plan. If you're an individual or a small team, you can use our standard plan for free forever. You only upgrade if you want to support a larger team, get stronger hardware or have Enterprise requirements. I'm sending more info about our plans & pricing here: https://deepnote.com/pricing

The go on to say,

Okay, so I need only upgrade for those features? Except wait, you only get 3 projects in the free tier. Three!

I would be more okay calling it a free service if 99% of users wouldn't need the paid tiers. But that tier is definitely just a trial.

Absolutely! All you have to do is Upload your .ipynb files (or full folders) into an empty Deepnote project and run the code. I'm sending docs with more info on how to import files here: https://docs.deepnote.com/importing-and-exporing/importing-d...

Hey, the wording is not super clear there. Thanks for the feedback. Upon signing up, you get both a free individual account & can create free teams, just like in GitHub.

The free individual account has an unlimited # of created & running projects. The free team allows you to try out team-only features, but is limited in the number of projects.

Oh, definitely clear that up! I always check the pricing page before signing up and that was an immediate nonstarter for me. Unlimited individual + 3 team projects seems more reasonable.

What's your security model for logged-in users, one of the reason we (the jupyter team) have nbviewer on a separate domain with no login is to have embedded JS and other potentially sensitive content to be rendered without risk. We've seen people trying many attack vectors against renderer like this one with for example injecting script tags in things like prompt numbers.
