Recho: A Light Notebook Environment for Learning and Exploration
We’ve always loved @observablehq Observable Notebooks and wondered if a more portable notebook format could still keep its interactivity. Inspired by the @processing p5.js Web Editor, we also asked ourselves: can an environment focus more on computation rather than graphics, while remaining accessible and playful?
To explore these questions, we’re building Recho, a light environment for learning and exploration. It introduces plain code format for notebooks, echoing output inline as comments to provide live, in-situ coding experiences with instant feedback. Built on vanilla JavaScript and Observable Notebook Kit, Recho lets developers, artists, and learners explore and create directly in code.
Although there’s a lot of things to do, we’re excited to release a beta version and open-source Recho right now. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions, examples and contributions are welcome! 🌟 Star Recho on GitHub if you like it!
