I ended up looking into Github Pages and it wasn't too hard to use. (The documentation makes it look harder that it actually is.)

Thank you, benjaminsuch, for that pointer.

I realize now that I should have included more of an explanation of what "notebook" signified and should have included the initial comment in the Readme (or some version of it). I had the impulse to keep things absolutely as simple as possible.

I learned about how to make it easy to try a webpage from github which is useful.

I don't really have a lot invested in the result of this, but I have the feeling that people who are really trying to make a product must find that the spotlight of YC moves awfully fast.

I wonder if there needs to be a website that is a catalog of interesting projects (organized by purpose). Looking at github, it appears that it contains some lists of projects on github.

The contents of github repository have evolved quite a bit, mostly in response to comments (making some of them a bit out-of-sync).

Well put.

For simplicity, in js+help.html, not markdown, but plain HTML.

You project looks very interesting. Shared idea of programming in the browser, but much more ambitious.

I have experimented with async/await with js+help.html.

The import pointer is very interesting, thank you for that.

My impulse is to try to write a function to import a code from a URI.

I've had the idea that this could be useful for an introduction to programming. All you need is a browser. It also could encourage a more "literate" style of programming, much like Jupyter notebooks.

Actually tiddlywiki was what made me realize that something like this was possible. Much more complex. The key thing was the ability to "save".

Well I had this idea that with github, you are sort of forced to download HTML pages, so there you are. Clearly this is not very satisfactory.

I have added screenshots, a download link, and a more interesting example (mfib).

Will look into ways to make everything even easier.

What I would wish that I could do is just make it so that there was a link to the HTML file in the Readme. Click it and there you go. My impression is that this is discouraged. (Am I wrong about that?)

As I said this is all very simple, the one thing that makes it a little bit more interesting is the save button. You can do some computations/calculations and save the results (by downloading) into the same file or a new file.

I have even modified the javascript code of the page itself and saved it away (not really directly supported).
