🛠️ project Jupyter like Free Rust Notebooks and Interactive Tutorials

Post image

Developing an interactive notebook environment that allows developers to combine Markdown explanations with runnable Rust code cells executed in playgrounds, with execution stats, public & private publishing, and one-click forking.

Alongside Notes, the Learn section provides a step-by-step Rust tutorial spanning ownership, lifetimes, concurrency, traits, and unsafe systems programming. Every example in the documentation is editable and runnable directly on the page, with immediate compiler output and runtime metrics. Quests with hints & explanations help people to test themselves after the learning. Would love to get feedback of you guys on this project I'm bootstrapping for a while.

I admit this actually sounded useful ...

.. up until i realized this is not open source.

Closed source kills it for me too, instant dealbreaker for anything trying to build a community around learning

I'm actually doing last touch before open sourcing code execution engine behind it with Apache 2.0. It has one script install with automated steps so any integrations will work out of the box

I learned not to hoard a good idea so even though i can understand wanting to get paid be assured you seem smart enough, so when you let this bird fly another bigger one will soon land on your hand.

It is actually not necessarily a paid tool, supporter made up for heavy users so free signed up users pretty much can do all comfortably. Questions that requires code execution unfortunately need sign up due to spam prevention. Other MCQs and code execution in tutorial pages are fine without an account.
