Curvenote (YC W21)

Hey ProductHunt! I am really excited to launch Curvenote with @stevej_purves and @lheagy! Curvenote is built out of our experiences working as scientists and engineers in Jupyter and *also* having to create customer reports, papers, research articles, and share knowledge with our teams. We were constantly copying screenshots from Jupyter to include in emails, write-ups, or slides, and then as soon as we got feedback it takes a ton of time and effort to update everything. Things were out of date, and we could not reproduce figures - not to mention that emails/PDFs don’t support interactive figures (like plotly, bokeh, etc)!! Curvenote is a writing platform that connects to Jupyter. Save a notebook, copy interactive figures into a report, then the comments and versions will be linked in real-time, directly inside of Jupyter! Curvenote’s collaborative writing tools allow you to easily add citations, math, figures, etc. and export to LaTeX/Markdown or publish and share directly on curvenote.com! We will be around all day answering questions, and we would love to hear from you - or email me at rowan@curvenote.com 🚀 Thanks @mwseibel for hunting us!

There is no way a better version of the Jupyter notebook does not become something every tech employee uses in the future 🔥

Collaboration and reporting have been missing links in the Jupyter workflow, until now. Curvenote is poised to dramatically accelerate the pace of scientific discovering by adding these and other essential features to the most important data science platform of our time. A major breakthrough!

Congrats on the launch! Love the editor. Looks amazing and brings in a lot of the best parts of Notion, Roam and Google docs.

I've been working with curvenote for the last month and it's be a great experience! After a long PhD filled with PDFs and figures I can't reproduce, I wish this platform was available during my research! curvenote is simply amazing and has the potential to be communication revolution for how we all teach, learn, share, and produce new COLLABORATIVE science. My first project with curvenote has been to consolidate and provide educational resources focused on a topic all geophysicists need to know: INVERSION! Working with a team of inversion experts in multiple countries, we have been able to easily iterate through integrating the fundamental text and mathematics with interactive Jupyter outputs for a well-rounded learning experience. The version control, integration with Jupyter, and simplicity of adding mathematical equations have been instrumental in developing this resource with ease! Can't wait to work on future projects!

Hey, this one looks nice! 👍

Really excited to see this product get off the ground. There's so much room for innovation in scientific communication and explanation, and this is a really cool step towards making data-driven writing more interactive, accessible, and powerful. Also love the focus on open source technologies and standards, and the connections with the Jupyter ecosystem. 🚀🚀
