Software Reviews and Criticism

  Made me pay twice, editing is crude

  2.99 to download and 2.99 to edit notebooks. I feel ripped off :(. You can only edit the source of the file which is a bit crude and no better than opening the notebook in the most basic of text editors (no editing tools like find and replace). You can't easily change code/markdown in a cell without digging through the source. There are plenty of free options that are more sophisticated than this

  Don't buy edit extension

  It's not very handy since it's just a text editor with a syntax highlight: you see just plain JSON. Once extension is enabled, it is taking half of the screen and you have to manually resize the section of the window. There is no way to disable edit extension after it's bought.

  *.ipynb Viewer -> yes please!

  This thing covers two use cases - (1) *.ipynb viewer and (2) rough editor. As a data scientist who does almost everything in Jupyter notebooks, I wanted a quick viewer so that I could scan the rendered contents of a notebook in the file system. Before buying this tool, my quick viewer showed the raw json source, which was less than helpful. My strategy was to render final notebooks to pdf, for scanning. These renders quickly got out of sync. This app gives me exactly what I needed. Thank you! I cannot speak to the second use case, which is what all the negative reviews seem to be complaining about. If you want to edit the json source, why not just install Anaconda and use Jupyter Notebook or Jupyter Lab directly? I can see the benefit of a crude editor for fixing typos and the like, which is what this is. If I needed to make big changes, I would use another tool! These complainers seem to be looking for a hammer, but found a wrench. Now they are upset that the wrench isn't a hammer? Grow up and go find the proper tool! Don't berate something just because it isn't what you need? This app does a great job doing what it does. These developers depend on your reviews. Leaving a review when you don't understand the purpose of the app you are reviewing is just rude. If you are looking for something else, don't leave a bad review! Look elsewhere!
