The 50th Anniversary of Doug Engelbart's Great Demo

I personally don't like Google, they constantly mess up my writing/publishing and a lot more of bad/evil things. I don't have their software/code, can't selfhost it (not libre-freely licensed), and believe that things should always work offline just as well. Still, do you have a link?

Others in the community usually don't have such reservations/objections, or don't care enough about their own work and capabilities available to them.

The file is just a generic Jupyter Notebook (JSON with .ipynb extension). The link to colab is just an iframe wrap to allow authenticated user to change it.

Functional wise, it works just like a wiki.

It can be hosted on any Jupyter platform (such as google colab, Azure notebook, your own Jupyter instance) or a Jupyter viewer platform if you do not want to run he code. But you will lose the capability of pushing the update back to the shared copy.

Here is an example of saving it to a github gist and viewed in nbviewer:

Due to the restrictions of GitHub, the YouTube video is not rendered in gist
