Iodide is a browser-based notebook for literate scientific computing, letting users mix narrative text, runnable JavaScript code, and interactive visualizations in a single shareable document. It runs entirely client-side, so results can be replicated and remixed by anyone with a browser, but the project is no longer maintained.

Use cases

• share reproducible scientific analyses in the browser
• create interactive data visualizations with narrative write-ups
• run notebook-style computations without installing anything
• teach data science with runnable client-side notebooks
• publish code and results together as a single shareable page

When to choose

• you need a fully client-side notebook that runs in any browser with no setup
• you want to share analyses as a single document mixing prose, code, and visuals
• you are studying prior notebook designs or forking the concept

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained software with bug fixes and support
• you rely on Python - use Pyodide or Jupyter instead
• you need a production tool for important work, since the demo server may shut down
