The other development is Binder, an open-source service that allows users to use Jupyter notebooks on GitHub in a web browser without having to install the software or any programming libraries.

Because of the client/server architecture, it is very simple to share notebooks with other users. You can — in theory — use Jupyter for anything you could use Python for.

As someone who often works with Python scripts, Jupyter Notebook is my favorite tool for making notes during lectures and sharing my painstakingly-written code with my programming friends and rivals.
