Running `ipython --notebook` with the additional option `--script` may be what you are looking for. This saves a `.py` file with the same name next to your `.ipynb` file (the non-code sections are present, but they are commented out).
My first little webapp/project. Any feedback from the HN community would be welcome.
Am I right in thinking that markdown is catching on more widely than the coding community? Writers and non-technical academics seem to be becoming aware of its merits as a cross-platform medium.
I am using this for my own simple on-the-fly slide production before lectures I give.
Who do you think might use this? What features might I consider adding? My first instinct is github/gist integration to allow versioning and collaboration between writers, as per the #scholmd / "scholarly markdown" proponents.
Is there anything like this already?
Thoughts and opinions gratefully received!
Notelab (http://notelab.org) - a way to take synced notes alongside web videos.
It's cool because:
* It's really simple (paste a YouTube URL then take notes and they all sync up).
* At the moment there's no good way to capture, organise, export and share notes relating to online videos. You have to open a text editor next to your browser window, or (gasp) write on paper.
* It solves a pain point I have when teaching, as I often recommend videos as "recommended viewing" to my students, and I like to share my notes on the videos with them, and also see what they are writing.
* It's my first coding project, so I'm learning a lot :-)
http://www.wuala.com/ - Swiss company. 5GB free storage for client-side encrypted data. The product offers backup and sync options for arbitrary folders and is supported across OSX, Linux, Windows, and Mobile. Backed by a big company (Lacie) who make USB drives. I have just switched to them from DB and have loved the experience so far.
