So, are you going to provide built-in things like: IPython viewer (like http://nbviewer.ipython.org/), LaTeX viewer for notes (like http://mathb.in/), support for slides (this thing would be awesome - to have possibility to view them and view/fork their source; a bit related to http://slidewiki.org/) or something in that line?

We have similar ideas for integrations with those tools, with the exception of latex. With latex, we have our own online editor with some neat git integration.

Do you have any examples of these online? Today, I don't see any reason I would use this over GitHub.

I gather that your Mac app may be simpler, but it's not available yet.

Since I don't already have dozens of projects on banyan, it's hard to see the value.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to link to some repos with examples of the fancy LaTeX or IPython formatting
