I'm not on macOS, so I can't try it right now, but I've bookmarked this and will keep an eye on it. Basically the report/output view of Iodide/Jupyter without the "editor" view? I was really hoping something like this would come along.

Yes, that's exactly right. Great to hear other people are also interested in this approach! The technology I developed has ended up being pretty flexible, you can read about it here (https://blog.repla.app/2020/01/13/what-is-repla/) and here (https://blog.repla.app/2020/01/13/repla-use-cases/) if you're curious. But yeah, that's exactly the use case I developed the technology for. I wanted a browser engine with a plugin system so that I could use to display output of systems like Jupyter and Observable HQ, while still editing the source code in my exiting text editor, the same way I edit other source code. I sort of discovered along the way that this system is also a nice way to run a local development web server, and that was a bit easier to implement, so that's what I've launched with first, the homepage has more info on that (https://repla.app/).

I'd like to support Linux and Windows eventually too, but it's easier to start with supporting just one platform while I'm just testing out whether there's other people interested in the idea.
