Vscode has decent Jupyter support with its python plugin. What I really missed my jupyter notebooks was a world class editor with keyboard shortcuts and code completion. So I went the other route, running jupyter notebooks in vscode.

I made a really simple python cli module that would convert from jupyter notebook to python files with runnable cells in vscode, and vice versa.

Really upped my game while doing the udacity courses.

Vscode does indeed have a html output console.

Wow! This is insanely cool! You should package this up as a VS Code plugin so more people can use it. At a minimum, please post a license.txt file in your repo so folks can actually use it (MIT or similar is pretty easy and common for something like this, without a license.txt file it's not clear whether others can actually use it and many places that means they can't).

You should check this out https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen

Hydrogen looks very cool! Am I right that hydrogen and the https://github.com/DonJayamanne/vscodeJupyter plugin that nojvek's plugin is designed to work with in that hydrogen shows the plots inline (like Jupyter does) but hydrogen doesn't support markdown? [edit: the biggest difference is that hydrogen is a stand-alone atom-like editor not a vscode plugin]

I usually mark all my repos as MIT but will explicitly add a LICENSE.txt. Thanks

I only recently learned myself that Jupyter notebooks do have code completion, triggered by hitting the tab button - although possibly you were thinking of something more advanced than that. In any case I'll check out your code on github.

Actually, if you activate the 'Hinterland' extension, you don't need to hit tab. And there's a ton of more extensions too. Their Github repo has instructions on how to set up the extensions - https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensi...
