Regarding adding persistence, people in the community are already building solutions, like: https://github.com/ChristianAlexander/durable_object

The good thing about those, IMO, is that they’re leveraging everything that’s already in BEAM/OTP, so there’s no need to reinvent the harder parts. They “only” add some extra features (like persistence of processes/GenServers between restarts) and higher-level abstraction APIs.

I think this may solve live reloading in Livebook for you: https://github.com/jonatanklosko/mix_install_watcher
Good feedback, thanks.

Livebook already has a SQL Smart cell (https://livebook.dev/integrations/sql). It doesn't integrate with Explorer yet, but it's already possible to reference a database connection, run a SQL query, and visualize the results in a table.

Here's a video showing how to do that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F98OWdigCjY

Hi everyone, member of the Livebook team here.

We’ve been investing a lot in making Elixir great for data exploration.

Today we’re taking one step further in this journey by contributing to the Explorer library and integrating it with Livebook.

Explorer is an Elixir dataframe library built on top of Polars (from Rust) and inspired by dplyr (from R).

Its integration with Livebook (open-source code notebook for Elixir) makes it easier to explore and transform dataframes interactively.

Let me know if you have questions about these new features or anything related to Livebook’s launch week. :)

Re:Hubs and secret management in Livebook notebooks on Wednesday April 12, 2023 @11:01AM (#35540916)
Hi everyone, member of the Livebook team here.

Dealing with sensitive data in code notebooks is a pain point [0]. That's why we've been improving secret management in Livebook for a while. And now we have more news we're excited to share.

In this new release, we added notebook stamping. Together with the other Livebook features, this helps to make notebooks readable, open, and safe to share.

Let me know if you have any questions about those new features or anything related to Livebook's launch week. :)

Hey HN, Hugo from the Livebook team here!

Super excited to share our first-ever Livebook Launch Week with you all! Each day this week, we'll announce new features and capabilities in Livebook 0.9.

Kicking off Day 1, we're introducing the ability to deploy Livebook notebooks as apps!

Now, you can transform your interactive notebooks into user-friendly web apps, making them accessible to a broader audience.

Livebook is an open-source code notebook built with Elixir and Phoenix LiveView. This release has cool new features, like visualizing message-passing between Elixir processes and an interactive UI for Elixir pipelines.
