Earlier quoted context omitted.

Wonder if dockerized cocalc + sageworksheets / jupyter lab is what you're looking for

Regular Jupyter notebooks are missing two important things: 1. Sheets hide formulas most of the time 2. Formulas in sheets are reactive, updating one cell immediately updates all the cells that depend on the first

Julia ecosystem has an awesome tool called Pluto that solves this. https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl it is still young but actively developed. I am especially looking forward to their upcoming 2D Grid layout option, which will essentially turn it into a code driven reactive dashboard.

I'm missing a collaborative whiteboard with the following features: * Infinite scroll * Undo/redo * Pasting images * LaTeX math input

You should checkout : https://www.mural.co/ In our organization it's used a lot (sometimes overused), and I find it very helpful.

Bayesian filtering for news sites. Say I follow a news site, but I'm not interested in all published articles. Only in some topics not covered by existing categories, or hard to specify by keyword search. It would be helpful to have a filter, analogous to a spam filter, that I would train presenting examples of what I like or not, and it would eventually learn what interests me, saving me the effort of sifting throug…

Might be worth checking out https://blog.feedly.com/leo/, I personally haven't used this feature yet, but seems to match what you're explained.

Right now, I use BOWWE (https://bowwe.com/en). It's a low/no code website builder. For now, I'm happy with it. I'm in the process of developing a website, and everything goes smoothly. They also improve this builder all the time, so I hope they will bring more interesting features in the future.

Missing a "Screenshot for audio" function: A simple shortcut on my phone (like volume up + volume down) that saves +/- 20 seconds of current audio stream, and a link to the original. Like when I listen to a podcast while running, and an interesting book is mentioned, and I want to have a really quick record of it that I can revisit later. Should be independent of listening app, and also work for phone conversations.

I use a JSON formatting tool a lot ( https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ ). I do wonder sometimes about pasting sensitive data into sites like this, and what they might be doing with it. Strange in a way, that companies spend so much effort restricting how we handle sensitive data, and then you copy and paste it into any website with an input box and no one seems to care. Fingers crossed and all that. These sit…

python3 -m json.tool some.json

I like to use https://jsonformatter.org for beautify json.
