The simplicity, love it!

Damn, this'll be a godsend for all those Docker commands.

I want this, but absolutely do not want to use VScode.

Recently, my Readmes have been reduced to “Run ‘jupyter-notebook index.ipynb’”

Runme's co-creator here, would you rather have it as a standalone web app? Or in other words, what VS Code alternative?

I'd take just a shell script. If all this does is run commands from a readme to get bootstrapped, I don't understand why I need to get an IDE involved.

that's totally fair. there are plenty of cases where a shell script will just do. however, we found that for runbook-like documentation it's elegant to interlace narrative and commands per step to incrementally work through the steps to completion. the IDE could, for an instance, set you up with configuration and credentials required and provide a richer way to display intermediate results.

scripts always work well until you share them. in a Bring-Your-Own-Device world it's easier said than done.

however, totally depends on the situation and in a lot of cases a script file will work just fine. hope this sheds some light on it, not trying to convince you that an IDE is required.

I don’t use an IDE and don’t believe an IDE is the right environment for anything other than docs relevant to the work done in the IDE.

It’s just context-sensitive help at that point.

I wonder if this could replace Jupyter completely. I really yearn for a cross lang Jupyter VSCode native replacement

Is there an easy way to toggle back to normal editing of markdown files?

Yes! If you right click on any .md file, and goto 'open with' you get all your options, and can configure the default. I hope that helps.
