srcbook

Why we included this project

Srcbook turns the notebook idea into a TypeScript-first tool that runs entirely on your own machine, with a web interface served from a local CLI. Because code executes in a Node.js process rather than in the browser, you can open database connections, hit HTTP endpoints, and touch the file system, which makes it useful as a scripting scratchpad or a lightweight Postman alternative. The AI layer writes or edits whole notebooks and then runs what it produces, so you can test ideas immediately, provided you bring your own API key. It also exports notes to markdown, supports mermaid diagrams for annotations, and includes a Hub of example notebooks that double as learning material. One honest caveat: the maintainers have flagged the project as no longer under active development, so treat it as a tool for prototyping rather than a rapidly evolving dependency.
