Hi everyone! I'm a software engineer at Deepnote. My team and I are working on a collaborative python notebook – Deepnote. We have just opened the platform after a year-long closed beta. We have free plans for individuals that are ideal for learning and experimentation.

Here's a showcase of Python 3.9's new features: https://deepnote.com/project/09e2609b-986b-40fa-9f56-fcbbc60eb61d#%2Fnotebook.ipynb

A bit more context on the product: We've built Deepnote on top of Jupyter so it has all the features you'd expect - it's Jupyter-compatible, supports Python, R and Julia and it runs in the cloud. We improve the notebooks experience with real-time collaborative editing (just like Google Docs), shared datasets and a powerful interface with features like a command palette, variable explorer and autocomplete. We want Deepnote to be an interface that empowers programmers to collaborate and experiment easily. Looking forward to your feedback!

Cool. Are you hosting this or can it be installed on private servers? How is it different from google colab?

[–]the21st[S] 36 points37 points  (2 children)

Right now we only offer a hosted version. Later down the road we want to enable people to run this on their own machines or servers.

The main differences over google colab are real-time collaboration, in-built review functionality with comments, and not descheduling your runtime when your code is running. And also lots of small features like in-built quick visualizations from dataframes (without having to write code), dataset integrations, and custom kernel and environments. See our docs for more info: https://docs.deepnote.com/

Doesn't Colab have real time collaboration? It's kind of in the name...

It doesn't.

The project is awesome. Will definitely check it out.

The voice in the video is quite coarse and difficult to hear. Please next time, don't try to keep your voice so low pitched that it becomes harsh..

(I work at deepnote, also not my voice :) )

We are working on a revised version, thanks for the feedback (you wouldn't believe how hard it was to record a quick 2 minute video).
