Thanks! Notebooks on molab are public (but undiscoverable, like public GitHub gists), and can be shared with links. This is described here: https://marimo.io/blog/announcing-molab.

Is there anything you are doing to prevent these notebooks from being indexed by Google/etc? Gists will show up in google search results if they've been linked from anywhere that google happens to find. The robots.txt just has 'Allow: /'.

I have no experience with Marimo so I guess I don't know the security model here.

I just turned off /notebooks in robots.txt

Our thoughts are the same as gists- Molab is built to share your work and give you a place to tinker. Please don't put your api keys in there

That doesn't actually stop pages being indexed.

If your notebooks need keys, use mo.ui.text(kind=“password”), similar to the example from Hugging Face: https://molab.marimo.io/notebooks/nb_jpcTRt2jckij9iujuZ6NuZ
