How to preview notebooks

This repository has a GitHub Action that automatically generates a static website on every commit. This uses the Pluto static export system to generate static HTML files.

You can see an index of all exported files at the repository website (link in top-right).

✅ Recent commit? For progress and status of the site generation system, check out the Actions tab.
