tmpnb.org powers https://try.jupyter.org, and is a lightweight service for temporary notebook servers. However, tmpnb gets a lot less light as the number of users grows, and the scope of what we want to demo grows. Since tmpnb only allows serving a single repo, we’ve had to build an enormous kitchen-sink docker image <https://github.com/jupyter/docker-demo-images> with everything we want to demo. This is not sustainable, and keeping tmpnb.org up isn’t really working anymore. With the new Binder <https://mybinder.org> up and running, there is a better avenue for demoing Jupyter use cases that doesn’t require trying to build a one-size-fits-all demo.
Our plan is to update the try.jupyter.org page to be a set of links to Binder repos demoing Jupyter, and shutdown the tmpnb.org service. This will involve: - creating a few binderable repos for demoing Jupyter - making try.jupyter.org a landing page pointing to a few selected demo repos on Binder - shutting down tmpnb.org - putting the docker-demo-images repo in the attic, since people who want to demo their own work can now create Binders instead of adding to the big demo image. See the GitHub Issue <https://github.com/jupyter/try.jupyter.org/issues/21> for further planning. We don’t have a timeframe for this yet, but if you are relying on tmpnb.org for anything let us know. The odds are that Binder can already serve you better than tmpnb does right now. -Min -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Jupyter" group.
