JupyterLite is such an incredible piece of software. It came out of the Pyodide project, which first got Python compiled to WebAssembly working in the browser.

It really is astonishing that they've managed to get the full data science Python stack - a lot of it based around custom C extensions (numpy, Pandas etc) running entirely in the browser.

It really is. I guess this'll be quite useful for people on chromebooks and iPads as well.

What exactly is Jupyterlab and how does it fit into the Jupiter ecosystem? There are notebooks and jupyterlab and jupyterhub, but I haven’t found anything documenting what role each fulfills.

Jupyterlab is just an IDE. You can open up terminals, consoles (which are like notebooks, but are a console), and notebooks, on top of a text editor.

It's actually really nice. Works great over ondemand and is way more responsive than X-based apps.

Jupyterhub is a way to coordinate compute space / config across many users of notebooks or jupyterlab.

This GitHub Actions + GitHub Pages feature looks like the use case I would be looking to exploit for educational purposes.

From this: https://github.com/jupyterlite/demo you can easily get to https://jupyterlite.github.io/demo

In case anyone wants to be helpful, I would love to see a guide to how to use this to transparently display where files are stored so that I could figure out how to automatically commit my changes or something like that. Each repository could be a lesson and worksheet for a coding/class, or even a collection of lessons. I imagine it would be fairly straightforward to create an interaction mode as well, for non-coders to ogle at other's charts and tables and interactive bokeh plots creations.

and Fortran! SciPy is like 20% fortran (as far as I remember).
