Supporting most of the features

[suyashmahar]

I wrote a similar app as a personal project in an effort to get native desktop experience and learn some HTML, CSS and JS:

https://github.com/suyashmahar/europa

This was a hobby project, so the code isn't the prettiest (I never wrote any HTML, CSS or JS before), although it is documented.

Europa has most features that you'd expect: (1) Remote servers, (2) starting new local server and (3) Shortcuts (like @adammenges 's project).

This covers the following open issues: #48 (multiple servers) #181 (abandoned) #169 (changing python interpreter) #43 (User friendly error messages) #161 (saving settings?) #15 (remote server)

I didn't know about jupyterlab_app when I started, though I would have still preferred to write my own since I had a bunch of free time and wanted to learn something new.

Europa is licensed as GPLv3, but, I'm willing to let the jupyterlab organization take over it and re-license it as BSD 3 clause. Would love to hear from someone at JupyterLab Org if this is sounds interesting.
