Iodide for Technical Communication

[Keith Soltys <keith -at- soltys -dot- ca>]

Mozilla have announced a new tool called Iodide that's intended for 
scientific documentation and data visualization. It looks similar to 
Jupyter, but is easier to use and possibly more powerful.

In looking at it, I realized that it could have technical communication 
applications and so I did a blog post about it: 
https://coredump3.blogspot.com/2019/03/iodide-new-tool-for-documenting-and.html 


From the post:

"There's a lot in the article that will matter only to scientists or 
developers. But there's a lot more of interest to a wider audience; for 
example, Iodide could be a wonderful teaching tool for high school or 
college math and science classes. I could have used it at the TMX to 
create interactive reference documentation for our job control software 
to pull in data from an Excel spreadsheet that was more than 10,000 rows 
deep. Or perhaps it could be used for API documentation with live code 
examples."

You can find out more about Iodide at iodide.io.

I'd be interested in people's thoughts on this.

Regards

Keith
