I've been looking for something like this, but I'm still unsure it quite hits the spot. I think that this would be very interesting if it allows a person to run a blog like a Jupyter notebook.

I have a lightweight hack [1] that runs Python in markdown documents and can output basic images/graphs - which is embedded into static pages. The point was being able to write an article that somebody else could see the code behind it and test themselves, e.g. [2]. One of the browsers I test in is Netsurf with JS disabled. Unfortunately it doesn't look great in Lynx.

There is jupyerlite which does exactly that https://github.com/jupyterlite/jupyterlite

Kernels are compiled to wasm and can therefore run in the browser.

Try it out at: https://jupyterlite.readthedocs.io/en/stable/_static/lab/ind...

Its easy to create your own deployments, there is a template repo for that https://github.com/jupyterlite/demo

Had a quick look, this seems quite cool!

Is there alternative output is the WASM is not run? It would be good if it defaulted to a pre-run static output, otherwise users could be left with nothing?
