Lightnews — Scholar-powered news

Put some final touches to Toad's permission request screen.

When the agent has an update, it pops this screen up. You can review the diffs in unified or split view, then decide if you want to accept or reject the changes.

It's better to open a private window, and you should be aware that it doesn't work on
Firefox because of bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi....
If it still doesn't work, it would be great if you could open an issue.

They are really different approaches and Microverse is nowhere near JupyterLite for now. I think it's really a question of integration with the rest of the ecosystem. JupyterLite diverges in many ways from JupyterLab due to the lack of server while Microverse is more streamlined and more compatible.

David Brochart @davidbrochart.bsky.social · 27d

I gave a presentation of Microverse during the last Jupyter Community Call:

Microverse is a version of JupyterLab that runs entirely in the browser. Unlike JupyterLite, it runs a server in the browser.

It's nice to see pycrdt powers a pretty popular project (outside Jupyter):

Looking at Toad's console, I can see some similarities with a Jupyter notebook, with AI superpowers.
I started github.com/davidbrochar... a while ago, but I'm wondering if Toad could be "Jupyter-compatible".

Sneak preview of what's coming to Microverse: real-time collaboration 🚀
This is not a re-implementation of JupyterLab's RTC so that it runs in the browser, it is the same Jupyter Collaboration package.
That's exactly what I expect Microverse to bring to the table: more compatibility with JupyterLab.

JupyterGIS-tiler can do a lot of processing in the backend. For instance you can clip a raster layer with a vector polygon, and have sub-pixel rendering.
Here is an example of DEM clipping with the Amazon river watershed:

If you think you should use asyncio because it's the native async framework in Python, you might want to read this (TLDR: use AnyIO instead):

Microverse is deployed on GitHub pages here:
davidbrochart.github.io/microverse/
Note that it doesn't work in Firefox and that it's quite slow to start up (see dev network).
It's still very early stage, but it's improving. One interesting feature is how kernels can be shared between browser windows.

David Brochart @davidbrochart.bsky.social · Jul 27

I didn't implement the events API yet. It's in my TODO list.

David Brochart @davidbrochart.bsky.social · Jul 27

You could try:

pip install "jupyter-collaboration" "jupyverse[jupyterlab,auth]"

jupyverse --set kernels.require_yjs=true --set jupyterlab.server_side_execution=true --open-browser

David Brochart @davidbrochart.bsky.social · Jul 27

Nice to see that you're working on a new Rust backend, but FYI "server-side execution" already exists in Jupyter, both in jupyter-server and jupyverse.

David Brochart @davidbrochart.bsky.social · Jul 24

I'am also happy that you were wrong about "never being able to find joy in building things". That would have been such a loss for the Python community!
