Just downloaded it, I love the logo!

I like it so far. I think the main thing it needs is tabs, though. I usually work on several notebooks at once, so having a new Pineapple window for each of them is not ideal.

That is a great idea. I'm also thinking about ways to get multiple "pages" inside of one notebook file, let me know if you have good ideas for that.

Absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to try it at work tomorrow. I live in IPython notebooks. Does it support custom templates like ipython notebook does? What about Jupyter support, e.g., non-Python kernels?

Also, does it come bundled with Python? Any chance of being able to use my own, e.g., from a conda environment? Sorry for so many questions. Too excited :)

Looks great, but why is the dmg so big (104 MB)?
