In addition note that there was little [1] progress on sagenb for years before Jupyter=IPython and SMC existed. This might be because people who learn about modern web development realize that sagenb was written/rewritten mostly in 2006-2009 [2], and that web development technology (both frontend and backend) has progressed dramatically since then. They might thus not be motivated to work on sagenb. [1] There was a rewrite of the frontend UI of sagenb, which wasn't quite released... The last serious work I can remember on sagenb was Mike Hansen switching it to use flask and that was quite a while ago. [2] Not only that, but sagenb doesn't even use a database, so it feels more like it was from the 1990s... (my fault.) >> For >> now sagenb works quite well for user viewpoint.
