https://cloud.sagemath.com deploys Jupyter into a multi-user environment. It's used by hundreds of courses for teaching across the world. Our Jupyter deployment also supports realtime synchronization (multiple people editing at once like Google docs) and recording of the complete history of the document. I've also spent the last few weeks on a complete rewrite of Jupyter from scratch using React to provide more robust realtime sync support, faster startup, and better integration with the rest of our platform; this rewrite is of course not live yet.

This is incredible. I have been wondering what a react port of jupyter would look like. Is this opensource ?
Any learning from multi-user deployment ? We are trying to do this internally inside our company and jupyter hub is a little hard to grok.
I know of a lot of people who would pay for a faster jupyter that can also be run as a standalone dashboard/script - without the heavy duty interactive kernels. Basically reduce the prototype-deploy loop.
Check some of the comments here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14033129
Yes, that jupyter+react implementation will be open source. It's not clear though how the feature parity will be. At least the document is exactly the same.
I know sage math - in fact it was the first platform I found many years ago that provided an open alternative to Maple and Mathematica back in the days when Jupyter was still in its infancy.
It convinced me that there really exist viable open alternatives to the proprietary closed systems and I am extremely thankful for your efforts - I will definitely check out sagemathcloud.
