This is amazing! I'm doing a deep dive into the code now to see how the extensibility is done.

Some folks here might be interested in Stencila Sheets too (https://stenci.la/blog/2017-08-features-stencila-sheets/, https://stenci.la/blog/introducing-sheets/), https://github.com/stencila/stencila/tree/develop/src/sheet. It's a web-based spreadsheets where cells can execute other programming languages, such as R or Python.

Disclaimer: I know the authors. Even so, it's very interesting tech.

What's happening with Stencila? I only found it recently, and it looks like a potentially fantastic project, but development seems to have slowed right down.

Hi yoz, Stencila dev here. Thank for your interest. We're definitely still around!

Development of the frontend has indeed slowed down while we focus on more lower-level "backend" tools for research reproduciblity (e.g. https://github.com/stencila/dockter).

But were currently recruiting for a frontend designer and an engineer. So will be definitely be getting back to the interfaces soon!
