I made an open-source juypter alternative (github.com)

What I would like is a variant of Jupyter notebooks that uses AsciiDoc instead of markdown. It's really difficult to write anything complicated in Markdown, which I sometimes want to do.
It’s interesting how md has become a de facto standard for a bunch of things it was never intended to do.
What made you build the juypter alternative? Kind of unhappy with it as well, but curious to know.
i tried marimo and thought a lot of the features were much needed like no inactivity limits, git-friendly, etc.

i also had a lot of different credits aggregated across different providers and wanted to see if I could do things like switching to different providers with just a single click, or even make training on multiple providers possible.

Was there something you did not like about Marimo? It is also open source and can run locally.

I'm still confused about your motivations and how your solution differs.

i've been looking for an alternative to jupyter notebook, excited to see where this goes
hell yeah
Wait is Jupyter closed source? I didn't know that. It's disappointing to hear.
Jupyter is definitely open source:

BSD 3-Clause license

.https://jupyter.org/governance/projectlicense/

I do not understand the motivation behind this project or how it differs from Jupyter or Marimo, which are open source and run locally.

Most Jupyter tools are licensed with BSD-3 Clause license [1].

Dang this was my reaction too! I thought a large part of it was open source (i remember the old anaconda days). TIL I guess!
"I made an open-source jupyter alternative" should be read as "I made a jupyter alternative which is also open-source".
as a (very) minor contributor to some parts of the jupyter ecosystem, i can confirm: it is absolutely, 110% open source/BSD-3 licensed!
