Hey HN - I'm the creator of Idyll, it is really cool to see it here! To respond to the other comment - I did post it a few months ago but it didn't get much traction then.

Happy to answer any questions about the project, or why you would want to use something like this.

Thanks for making this :) As of now I just export Jupyter Notebooks to html, throw them on my site and call it a day but have been meaning to try Idyll for some data visualization.

This looks very cool. Thinking of using it for my lecture notes. I like the math support and that it seems to support d3 albeit with a bit of extra work, am wondering how easy it would be to bulk convert from another format say. LaTeX using something like Pandoc to markdown and then to idyll? Would rather not cut and paste everything.

Presumably you can switch between idyll and Jupiter notebooks using note down and nbconvert with a bit of extra work.

Well, I have already put some extra work in making jupyter notebooks look good when exported as html (for example - http://abhirag.in/articles/train_of_thought_1.html). I am planning to use Idyll for d3 plots and such, but thanks for the idea, exporting to markdown and then using Idyll was something I hadn't thought about.

Nice notebook more railways around the world should be using notebooks.
