Interactive Code Notebook

A Web-Based Learning Environment

July 28, 2024

A browser-based tool that allows users to write and execute code snippets in various languages, combined with markdown for rich-text explanations.

Inspired by tools like Jupyter Notebooks, this project aims to create a lightweight, web-native environment for technical documentation and tutorials. It uses WebAssembly to run code interpreters for languages like Python and JavaScript directly in the browser, providing a sandboxed and secure execution environment. The application is built with Next.js and features a Monaco Editor integration for a rich code editing experience. Users can create 'notebooks' composed of markdown cells and code cells, and the output of code execution is rendered directly below the cell. Notebooks can be saved locally or shared via a unique URL.
