Cell Starters

[Nicholas Bollweg]

Elevator Pitch

Add a new kind of starter that interactively creates new cells.

Motivation

Sometimes a full notebook is too large of a thing to start, or after running a starter, there might be sensible places to continue.

Design Ideas

• as a user
  • see a command palette item/menu/button in the cell toolbar
    • when activated
      • show a sidebar with a list of starters
      • select a cell starter
      • see a form
      • interactively fill out the form
        • store intermediate values in the cell metadata
      • run cell
• as a starter author
  • create a new cell_starter by config, etc.
  • might create a python module, etc.
