Objections

    • Why not make a benchmark which is also open and reproducible?
      verdverm on HN
    • I thought that it is more than this. I think you should support any claim about that by creating a reproducible open benchmark test so at least people can understand what…

    From 2 comments
    • What's your security model for logged-in users, one of the reason we (the jupyter team) have nbviewer on a separate domain with no login is to have embedded JS and other…

Questions

  • How is this different from Google Colab publishing?

    From 1 comment
    • Nice gallery and great idea to publish these with a "Launch in Deepnote" button. How is this different from publishing notebooks on Google Colab? Also, I'm seeing some rendering…

    • Thanks for the feedback! The main difference between us (Deepnote) and Colab is that we aim for a clean reading experience, and we optimize for speed. Colab seems to load a…
