Very cool. I signed up and uploaded a notebook and was impressed with the stylesheet and presentation. Right out of the box, you're making the notebook output seem more like an article that someone might want to read (less distrinction between code blocks and markdown blocks).

The export to LaTeX is going to be a very interesting feature for me, since I can collaborate with colleagues using markdown, but ultimately export to LaTeX for final print version.

Good stuff!

Thanks! The ability to copy/reference code and figures from a notebook to multiple other articles/notes and have comments and updates between all the places you reference a Block is something that is really handy when researching and collaborating.

A lot of times I have found that a notebook will have a different narrative than when you are referencing and talking about the work in other articles and books, etc. More of a focus on "why" rather than "how". Curvenote allows you to keep things linked together, with pretty minimal overhead.

Not requiring your colleagues to know LaTeX is a plus in a lot of collaborations, but still getting to that professional export at the end of the day! I was using a weird mashup of LaTeX in GoogleDocs for my thesis ... !
