As a stepping stone that would still be useful now would it be worth having
a way to have tmpnb read notebook files from the browser's IndexedDB? Or
will even that stepping stone be exceptionally difficult?

I guess the answer is it is plausible, but it would be a very large amount

I don't think I could do such a large amount. If someone does want to work
on it I would love to help.

Sorry about the multi post. I think it was an issue with swapping windows
to and from Google groups on Android.

Flex looks like it could be amazing. I shall look into that for a project I
am working on. Thanks for the pointer.

With regards to storing the notebook data within the browser I recently
used dexiejs (http://dexie.org) for interacting with IndexedDB. Using Dexie
I was able to write an "import/export" to and from json (
http://electrons.simonbiggs.net/database). (
https://github.com/SimonBiggs/electroninserts-webapp/blob/master/src/app/services/data-services/data-persistence.service.ts
line 278 onwards). That subset of code can be released under a more
permissive license if desired.

With regards to numpy and scipy I completely understand they are a fair way
off. At least until webassembly supports compiling from Fortran.
Nevertheless a pure python static jupyterlab would be perfect for certain
use cases. In my field (health) it can be a bureaucratic nightmare to get
anything installed. Furthermore due to privacy reasons, using an off site
Python server is out if the question. To show something I've written in
python to someone else, and allow them to use it on their computer has
often currently been insurmountable.

As an aside it might also highlight the need for a Fortran to webassembly
compiler quickening the availability of the scientific computing tools
within javascript.
