A JupyterLab extension for adding, viewing, and manipulating descriptive tags for notebook cells.
jupyterlab-celltags is a JupyterLab extension that allows users to add descriptive tags to notebook cells for better organization and management. It solves the problem of navigating and manipulating large notebooks by enabling tag-based cell selection and batch operations. The extension is now integrated into JupyterLab core starting from version 2.0.
Data scientists, researchers, and educators using JupyterLab who need to organize and manage complex notebooks with many cells.
It provides a simple, built-in way to tag and filter notebook cells, improving workflow efficiency without requiring external tools or complex setups.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
From JupyterLab 2.0 onwards, celltags are integrated into the core, eliminating the need for separate installation and ensuring seamless availability, as noted in the README's archival notice.
Enables selection of all cells with a specific tag for collective actions, streamlining workflows in large notebooks, as demonstrated in the GIF and description.
Provides a simple interface for adding and viewing tags directly within JupyterLab, enhancing usability without complex setups, per the philosophy and features listed.
The standalone jupyterlab-celltags extension is archived and no longer maintained, meaning users on JupyterLab 1.x must rely on outdated code with no updates or bug fixes.
Functionality is confined to JupyterLab, making it unsuitable for users of other notebook environments or those needing cross-platform tagging solutions.
While useful for organization, it lacks advanced tagging capabilities such as nested tags, hierarchies, or integration with external tools, which could be restrictive for complex use cases.
