Demo notebook of things that don't (yet) work

Open psychemedia opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Problem

Many potential users of jupyterlite are likely to consider themselves "notebook users" rather than developers. This template repo helps provide an on-ramp to unexperienced users with a way to get started with their own deployment of jupyterlite, as well as exploring what's possible via the demo notebooks.

Such users might be consider themselves "notebook users" rather than developers and might be frustrated if things they expect to work don't (yet) work.

It might be useful to have a notebook of "not yet working" examples of things that folk are likely to try but that don't yet work, with workarounds if available, perhaps with a brief explanation of why they don't (yet) work.

Suggested Improvement

Create a notebook with a set of "not yet working" items.

For example:

  • %pip not available [related issue]
  • pd.read_csv() file not found; sqliite file not found etc. [related issue]
  • shell commands and line magics that make use of shell commands won't work

Thanks @psychemedia for the suggestion :+1:

This makes sense and it would be a nice way to document the limitations.
