I want to make it such that you can code on the left and then hide everything and share that with non technical folks. That's why I did not use a Colab, creating something interactive with it (and I did that quite a lot in the past) it's a bit of a PITA.
The problem I have is that once you go beyond a simple thing it becomes messy and you never know what you are dealing with. The way you present things graphically and they way you organize data to perform computations are tangled, making hard to read IMO.
Anyway, yes the editable thing is a known problem that could be fixed by switching to a view mode rather than an edit mode. The problem right now is caused by keeping in sync the edit field and the code on the left side.
I am planning to add support for entire tables, like one coming from a gSheet, and then present data from it. But not there yet, if you have suggestions, please add them to the feedback form https://forms.gle/A8Q8WAG8zj4sLvwQ7
Also need to find a nice and easy way to deal with local tables, I'll look into the extension you suggested.
For sharing files, it could be as simple as sharing a text file. You can also imagine a future where you create something and you only share the nice looking html view that is still interactive.
Running locally? not a problem, I already tested packaging this into a OSX app and it was like 4MB and has the same functionalities.
Can I ask what you ended up building? Is there a website for it?
Is that possible too in Obsidian? Or perhaps it's not useful...
