Besides the article, znote is interesting. I was wondering why no JS notebook, similar to Jupyter notebooks exists.

That said, to build a JS data science ecosystem, znote would need to be open source. I assume that would hinder your monetization efforts.

Observable [0] seems to be inspired by Jupyter. I haven't had a chance to use it though. It looks like some of its core features are open source [1]

I tried observable but a) I'd like to have the source files in git for version control + CI/CD. b) They use a special flavour of JS which I have no interest in learning.

The best solution I found was VSCode TS notebook https://github.com/DonJayamanne/typescript-notebook. However, ESM and notebook scoped package installations are not supported, along with some bugs.
