this is really interesting. I've never thought on using this or any jupyter-like tools to document working software. Maybe I'll try it later

Jupyter outputs to JSON. Livebook outputs to markdown, so it's more naturally renderable outside of the tool itself.

There are still some rough edges -- it would be nice if livebook could cache prerendered content. for example, kino graphs only chuck a big fat JSON into a html comment, it would be nice if it also popped out an svg or encoded png with data uri.

I believe you can hover the corner of a graph and hit the (...) disclosure for a "save svg" button.

Well it should be automatic and it should inline it.
