Livebook

Livebook provides a web‑based notebook environment where Markdown text and Elixir code cells coexist. Users can evaluate Elixir snippets on demand, embed LaTeX formulas, and create diagrams with Mermaid, while the built‑in editor offers autocompletion, inline documentation and code formatting. Results are displayed interactively through Kino, supporting charts, tables, maps and other visualizations.

The platform is designed for collaborative work; multiple participants can edit the same notebook in real time without additional configuration. Notebooks are saved in a `.livemd` format—a Markdown subset that integrates prose, code and diagrams—making them suitable for version control and sharing. Smart cells automate common tasks such as database queries, chart generation and map creation, and custom runtimes allow connection to existing Elixir nodes or projects.

Livebook is self‑hostable and can be deployed via Docker, Elixir’s Mix, or pre‑built desktop installers for macOS, Windows and Linux. It is open‑source under the Apache‑2.0 license, free to use, and does not require a subscription, offering a stable, reproducible environment for data‑driven workflows and team collaboration.
