All people look like muppets yet some are more muppet like than others

nteract 2.0 A ground-up rebuild of the notebook app. New runtime, new architecture, new everything.

Announcing nteract 2.0! www.nteract.io/blog/nteract...

Native notebook app with managed python environments, realtime collaboration with agents, and some @deno.land to boot.

Cannot believe this runs on my iPhone

We got a DM the other day with a fun request from a local family:

Could we find this nice BART train operator who always waved and beeped at this special little rider?

And if we found him, could we deliver him a thank you card!? 

So we got to work …

Silly agent. Asked for a happy little plot and it delivered.

Added ctrl-r search to nteract

Thanks for being an early early early adopter

Wrote a little bit of a troubleshooting guide: github.com/nteract/desk...

If you find out what's stopping your daemon from running, I'd love to know so I can fix it.

The best thing I can recommend is to `cd` into `nteract.app` after you've installed it (drag and drop) into Applications.

Within there you'll find `runt` which you should run `runt doctor` on.

You ready for some debugging 😅

We can do it over bsky/github or hop on zoom

Is it on the notebook screen you're seeing that on, even after onboarding?

nteract Settings window floating over a notebook. The settings panel shows Appearance (theme: Light/Dark/System), New Notebooks (default runtime: Python or Deno), Python Defaults (environment: uv or Conda, with packages matplotlib, numpy, requests), and Advanced settings with a Keep Alive slider set to 20 seconds.

Based on feedback from @rahuldave.bsky.social and @captainsafia.com I'm moving settings out to a proper window all it's own. nteract → settings

You ever just fully lose a discord server amongst all your discord servers? I cannot find @deno.land in my left bar so now I have to visit on the web to get "invited" again. Still no way to bubble it up. :(

I wish Dependents view in GitHub would let you filter out forks.

Google Trends chart showing interest in commercial coding agents increasing dramatically in early 2026

You can just research things. New from @jatucker.bsky.social & me at @brookings: Coding agents like Claude Code and Codex will likely accelerate research AND undermine institutional structures we built to support it.

me rn

I love when Claude says it's going to take 2 to 4 hours for something that I know will take it like less than 30 minutes in a code base.

Generative AI has the memory of a goldfish and a million eyes.

I need some way for my agents that operate on behalf of me on GitHub to indicate as such. Aside running and orchestrating these like ZERO places are making it possible to provide attribution and authentication for agents in a clean way.

Errors as product placement

upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. retried and the latest reset reason: remote connection failure, transport failure reason: delayed connect error: Connection refuse

Speed of development wholly dependent on how fast testing and especially end to end testing can be done.

First PR, as promised. github.com/ad-si/Woxi/p...

runtimelib/jupyter-protocol maintainer here, I'm going to send you some PRs to bring you up to date and also clean up a few things. I think you'll enjoy having a `.split()` shell too.

Commisars hating the new regime

Wow. @adriansieber.bsky.social (re)implemented the Wolfram language in Rust github.com/ad-si/Woxi

and exposed it as a jupyter kernel. That's crazy.

I don't see any documentation

You would not believe the things I can now blame on AI.
