Using the precompiled notebook-bundel artifact results in significantly faster startup, as emphasized in the README for a better user experience with minimal overhead.
Focuses on extensibility for UI visualizations and data, enabling developers to add custom components through a plugin system, ideal for tailored data exploration.
Supports multiple deployment methods including standalone runs, embedding in projects, and Docker containers, offering versatility for different hosting needs.
Provides a web-based REPL for Clojure and ClojureScript, allowing interactive coding and data exploration directly in the browser without server-side setup.
Building custom bundles requires additional ClojureScript compilation time and configuration, which can be a barrier for rapid prototyping or less technical users.
The README explicitly discourages use with Leiningen due to dependency resolution issues, forcing users to rely on tools.deps and potentially complicating legacy projects.
As a Clojure-specific tool, it lacks the extensive plugin library and community support of general-purpose notebooks like Jupyter, limiting pre-built integrations.
