Stencila
A platform for creating and publishing dynamic, data-driven documents with built-in code execution and collaboration.
What is Stencila?
Stencila is an open-source platform for creating dynamic, data-driven documents that can execute embedded code in multiple programming languages. It solves the problem of static documents by enabling interactive, executable content that can be collaboratively edited and published across various formats. The project focuses on scientific communication but is applicable to any domain needing programmable, interactive narratives.
Researchers, data scientists, academics, and technical writers who need to create interactive reports, reproducible research papers, or data-driven applications. Developers building collaborative editing tools or document conversion pipelines will also find the SDKs and CLI valuable.
Developers choose Stencila for its strong interoperability across document formats, built-in multi-language code execution, and CRDT-based real-time collaboration. Its unique selling point is blending the interactivity of applications with the narrative structure of documents, all while being open-source and self-hostable.
