    Marimo is the future of notebooks! This solves so many problems with collaboration using notebooks. Rooting for you guys!

    Hi Akshay, it isn't clear from above writeup - is this open for self-hosting (I have an education usecase)? Couldn't find anything on this in the repo.

    This sounds like a good tool that would help ease the usage of adopting marimo for some of the tasks that people usually use colab for. It can be used for teaching and tutorials to share.

    I just want to ask about Privacy Policy of the cloud version because I couldn't find it.

      Thanks! Notebooks on molab are public (but undiscoverable, like public GitHub gists), and can be shared with links. This is described here: https://marimo.io/blog/announcing-molab.

        Is there anything you are doing to prevent these notebooks from being indexed by Google/etc? Gists will show up in google search results if they've been linked from anywhere that google happens to find. The robots.txt just has 'Allow: /'.

        I have no experience with Marimo so I guess I don't know the security model here.

    I was hopeful for Wasm to make this work better but it just didn't. really cool to see this available - i was wondering what the next step was.

        Sorry! Did the notebook not connect to the runtime? Notebooks usually start quickly but there is variance, which we are working to tighten. If you have a notebook link/ID, we can look into it.
