Alternatives and innovation in this space are greatly appreciated! I run Linux and Windows so I keep my eyes fixed on https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/12062#issuecommen... - - zed is a cross platform, gpu rendered, rust-based editor.. Jupyter support should arrive soonish

nteract ( https://nteract.io/ ) supports windows and linux.

I still use Atom+Hydrogen most days.. About the same amount of years since the last (major) updates as nteract.

Does it work with Sagemath?

Is this it? https://www.sagemath.org/

This looks like a programming language built on top of Python.

Satyrn only supports the Python programming language right now.

If you are using this on the regular, I'm curious if you have tried Julia or Mathematica, if so why do you use Sagemath over those alternatives?

I hope you consider an open source model: code available freely on GitHub & app available for purchase on your website. I was scared about doing it this way, but it worked out for me: https://videohubapp.com/ for pay-what-you-want-$5-minimum for my app, and https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App git-clone-and-build for the code. I currently sell about 60 copies per month (same average across the last 4 years too).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No. If majority is paying 5 when the minimum is 5, the median is also 5. The rest can still be paying more than 5 which would yield a higher mean.

This sort of high performance minimalism is precisely what makes the Mac app ecosystem great. Not because you can't write the same thing on other platforms, but because everyone who cares about it has condensed on the Mac platform.

Would love to see this adopt the document-based app API and the toolbar API.

I use Jupyter Lab every day on OSX in scientific/academic work, so I feel I am your target audience. In case it helps you gauge my impression, I spent about two minutes reading the post and scrolling through the website. I feel I did not understand the main advantages of this notebook aside from the AI integration. I don't understand how "start-up" time is a cost; I have a Jupyter server running at all times and use…

Meh. Most apps like this are built for the Mac because a lot of programmers use Macs. If anything, Apple makes it difficult to develop for macOS because they keep breaking APIs with each update.
