The latest @marimo.io blog post is on the front page of HN — on how and why marimo represents notebooks as dataflow graphs.

Brought to you by @manzt.sh

I'll be there too! Giving a talk on how @marimo.io notebooks are formed, using the AST of user code.

This was a fun conversation — thanks for having me @mkennedy.codes!

Buckaroo is an impressive interactive table widget by @paddymullen.bsky.social, with first-class support in @marimo.io. It even runs entirely in the browser

🚀 We achieved a big milestone today: marimo just crossed 12200 GitHub stars — crossing Jupyter notebook, too.

We launched marimo to the public just over a year ago. People are clearly hungry for a better environment for working with data, and we have a lot more planned still.

Thanks @paddymullen.bsky.social for helping make marimo better with all your feedback! 🙏

marimo is free and open source: github.com/marimo-team/....

Please give it a try — we appreciate any and all feedback!

This blog post is the second in a series that goes deep into why we think the Python notebook needs reinventing and what we're doing about it.

The first post, in case you missed it: marimo.io/blog/lessons...

Treating notebooks as code makes them more reproducible, portable, and interoperable — enabling many use cases that were previously out of reach for notebooks.

Our file format lets us make use of Python standards like inline script metadata, enabling tight integration with uv for reproducibility down to the packages.

marimo stores notebooks as plaintext Python files, with each cell represented as a function.

This makes notebooks git-friendly and importable as modules, while also supporting execution as a script and many other things.

Jupyter notebooks are what Pydantic creator calls "horrid blobs": JSON that can't be versioned with git or treated as software.

Our blog explains how @marimo.io fixes this problem.

We also have an accompanying video by

Reinventing notebooks as reusable Python programs Designing a Python notebook that blends the best parts of interactive computing with the sanity of code

I've spent the past 3 years working with @themylesfiles.bsky.social and others to fix Python notebooks — version with Git, run as scripts, reuse as modules.

Why @marimo.io stores notebooks as Python, not JSON: marimo.io/blog/python-...

"Jupyter-style notebooks are a good example of a deep architectural mistake that needs hacks on hacks to remain barely serviceable.

Luckily there are new approaches, e.g. marimo and
Pluto, that don't have the same root issue"

Threat Hunters: Stop using Jupyter and Switch to Marimo! A few months ago, I listened to a podcast with one of the founders of Marimo and I didn't immediately try it out. I assumed it was another SaaS platform where I'd have to sign up for. I was wrong. V...

From HN. One of many such comments we've recently seen.

A remarkable thing about mathematical constants like π is how often they arise in nature.

Inspired by @3blue1brown.com, we made a Python notebook that computes π with two colliding blocks:

Happy pi day!

The combination of Pyodide with marimo notebooks makes it easy to embed Python anywhere on the web — no backend required.

YouTube video by marimo An overview of marimo

🚀 The @marimo.io YouTube channel crossed 1k subscribers today — just two weeks after its launch!

marimo is best understand by seeing it in action. In his latest video, the one and only @koaning.bsky.social gives a bird's eye overview of what sets marimo apart:

Just wanted to give a shoutout to @marimo.io (cc @akshaykagrawal.bsky.social ). If u have been using Jupyter Notebooks, u should REALLY try Marimo. It is such an upgrade. We have been actively developing on it in the lab (integration with NLP LLMs) as well & are huge fans. Strongly recommend.

Mistral OCR was released yesterday so we wanted to give it a spin in a marimo notebook. It was pretty easy to get something interactive going but we also lea... Testing Mistral OCR for pdf parsing

We built an interactive tool that test drives @MistralAI OCR, which came out yesterday. From our eye-ball test — it's pretty good!

Curious? Our latest YT video shares the details:

Some examples.

Notebooks end up as reproducible and reusable artifacts by default (Python scripts or web apps).

Version with Git.

Designed for data, rich interactivity, no callbacks.

Reuse functions defined in your notebooks (soon) with Python imports.

AI might not make scientific breakthroughs anytime soon —

— but you can bet that researchers working in @marimo.io notebooks will.

Scientists are using marimo to crack quantum gravity, cancer therapeutics, computational biology, and much more.

marimo makes it easy to connect to your data wherever it is: query with SQL and get results back as a Polars dataframe.

Tuesday Tip! 💡

marimo renders dataframes as interactive tables — search over rows, sort and filter by columns, and page through millions of rows.

Works out of the box with @pola.rs and other dataframes thanks to Narwhals by @marcogorelli.bsky.social!
