Notebook Preview is a small GTK application to display Jupyter Notebooks. Its purpose is to allow the user to quickly read through a notebook without worrying about running Jupyter servers, kernels, or Python environments.
Notebook Preview is available as a flatpak bundle for Linux systems. You will need to install flatpak if your distribution does have it installed.
Download the .flatpak file from Releases page. Then install it on your system with
flatpak install io.github.rschroll.nbpreview.flatpak
If you're not on a Linux system, good luck!
The installation should make Notebook Preview show up in your applications list. It registers as a handler for notebook files, so you should be able to open notebooks in it by double-clicking them in a directory view. You may need to adjust default file handlers if another tool is already registered as the default handler for notebook files. (In GNOME, right-click a notebook file, choose Properties, and then select the Open With tab.)
Once Notebook Preview is the default handler for notebook files, you can also open a notebook from the command line with the open or xdg-open commands.
Notebook Preview is developed in GNOME Builder. This does a wonderful job of hiding its build settings, but as best I can figure out, it's building with flatpak builder.
