Use Cases

The Demo

I built a cool Binder (and even included ?urlpath=lab/tree/tutorial.ipynb to open a notebook) to showcase my library, but when visitors get to their Binder, they still have to read a notebook and shift+enter their way through my example to see the plot at the end.

A starter can increase engagement by:

• creating personalized content

• running JupyterLab commands on the users behalf, including the mighty Run All Cells

• launching a starter directly, with a Starter Tree URL

The Chore

When my scientists start a new experiment they hope will become reproducible research, they start a new folder that contains a notebook, a spreadsheet and a few other artifacts. Sometimes they don’t do it… quite right.

A starter can enhance reproducibility by:

• automating boring chores

• standardizing file names
