As someone who often works with Python scripts, Jupyter Notebook is my favorite tool for making notes during lectures and sharing my painstakingly-written code with my programming friends and rivals.

The other development is Binder, an open-source service that allows users to use Jupyter notebooks on GitHub in a web browser without having to install the software or any programming libraries.

Because of the client/server architecture, it is very simple to share notebooks with other users. You can — in theory — use Jupyter for anything you could use Python for.
