YouPy – YouTube for Jupyter Notebooks

View the Jupyter Notebooks of folks working at Google or OpenAI ----------

Today I was searching for a tool like this, and I couldn't find anyone. But I think it would be super cool if we could access the raw code and raw results of top scientists, and see how they work. And also be able to share my code and experiments. But not the super clean final paper, the raw stuff.

It seems super interesting, and we can learn a lot about the actual PROCESS of someone doing good research, not only from the OUTPUT (papers).

So what do you think? Would you like to access the Jupyter Notebooks of folks working at Google or OpenAI for example? Do you think it would be useful?

Feel free to coment and discuss :)

Some questions I would have before using the platform would be:

- Does it ensure that the Notebooks posted are reproducible? (i.e. can uploaders use private modules and thus make their analysis non-reproducible)

- Does it handle privacy well? I currently work within the Analytics org of what some would consider a large company, and user-privacy is incredibly important to us. Would this only be used to post 'public' dataset analyses?

    Thanks for the insights! I guess for question 1) there could be different strategies.

    The simplest one would consist of only hosting HTML versions of the notebooks so that viewers can only view. This maybe would be sufficient.

    The tricky one would be to be able to run code online, but it would require infrastructure.

Do you mean a live stream of researchers JupyterNotebooks/ JupyterLab?

Is this a thing for normal developers? I suppose there is a YouTube of everything.

Really how does YouTube manage all of this video?

    Not a livestream, but a place to host Jupyter Notebooks. The analogy with youtube was because youtube is the place to "upload your video and distribute it to the world". This would be the place to "upload your Jupyter Notebooks and distribute them" to the world.
