[BlindRUG] Notebook accessibility

Hi,

I'd say it also depends on where you are running Jupyter Notebooks. 
Installing Jupyter locally has it running in your own browser, accessing 
Jupyter notebooks online also means that Jupyter is running in your 
browser, but there might be additional distractions as the notebook is 
integrated in a more complex website.

As Nam writes, you can also access Jupyter via VS Code or VS Codium. 
Posit, the company behind RStudio, has a new project still in active 
development called Positron (https://positron.posit.co/start.html). The 
software is based on VS Code but includes many addons needed for 
data-specific jobs such as Jupyter.

I think one of the problems of Jupyter notebooks is not only being able 
to edit code with the cells but also being notified about the output 
when running a cell. It would also be necessary to get infos about 
whether the kernel is still running or in idle state.

Best
