Only you know your data volumes but for the scenarios in which I've reached for Jupyter they've often involved very large amounts of data and calculating on the server is what I wanted and needed.

Agreed that for some things, it would be great to be able to explicitly offload to the browser.

Yes, my dataset is tiny. I mainly use the JS notebook to analyze my selftracking log [1] which is about 10k lines of data at the moment.

I have not yet tried to load a lot of data into it. Would be interesting to see when the load time starts to outweight the benefits of instant calculations. Maybe at something like 10 million datasets? Hard to say.

Have you seen https://nomie.app? You can use a CouchDB backend to store the logs as semi-structured data.
