1. 1

   Step 1: Jupyter

   Why this matters here

   Jupyter is the baseline because it combines code, output, and explanation in one artifact.

   In short

   An open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text.

2. 2

   Step 2: Marimo

   Why this matters here

   Marimo follows because it reframes notebooks as reactive applications, which changes how results update and can be shared.

   In short

   A next-generation, reactive Python notebook designed to solve the hidden state problems of Jupyter by automatically re-running dependent cells.

   Next: Observable ↓

3. 3

   Step 3: Observable

   Why this matters here

   Observable belongs next because it shows a web-native notebook model aimed at interactive visualization and publishing.

   In short

   A collaborative, reactive web-based notebook environment specifically built for data exploration and interactive data visualization using JavaScript.

4. 4

   Step 4: Markdown

   Why this matters here

   Markdown matters once results need to leave the notebook and become readable documentation.

   In short

   A lightweight markup language that uses simple plaintext formatting syntax (like asterisks for bolding) to easily create beautifully formatted web documents.

   Next: MDX ↓

5. 5

   Step 5: MDX

   Why this matters here

   MDX extends Markdown with interactive components, making it the natural bridge from static explanation to live web documentation.

   In short

   An advanced extension of Markdown that allows developers to seamlessly embed interactive React components directly within standard text documents.

   Full definition of MDX →

   Next: React ↓

6. 6

   Step 6: React

   Why this matters here

   React closes the path because MDX interactivity usually lands in a component-based frontend environment.

   In short

   A widely used, open-source JavaScript library developed by Meta (Facebook) for building interactive user interfaces using reusable, encapsulated components.
