Hi, I just noticed (when testing a link to sagemath.org from my webpage) the single Cell Server:
http://sagemath.org/eval.html so I played with it a little bit and I think this is really cool. Here is some feedback: * There should be more examples with interact (I would create a topic "interact") * It is not easy to tell whether the server is computing (I tried sympy and it freezed, so I thought that something broke, but it was just calculating for about 5 or 10s). For interact, there is a blue line, so I know that it is computing. * the blue line for interact (the server is computing) is not very intuitive for me, it took me a while to realize that this is what it means * sometimes it seems slow, i.e. this script: from sympy import var var("x") print x-x print x**2 takes 5 seconds to evaluate. If you try the same thing here: http://live.sympy.org/, it is immediate. * the interact could update immediately when dragging the spinner -- assuming the round trip can be brought to around 1s. * I tried many of the examples from here: http://wiki.sagemath.org/interact (I know I can use the Sage notebook, but I always forget the password and so on, this cell server is much better for experimenting) * sometimes the blue line seems to stay on, try for example http://wiki.sagemath.org/interact/diffeq#Euler.27s_Method_in_one_variable What is the current bottleneck in terms of the round trip? Is it possible to make the interactive examples faster? Anyway, thanks for doing this. I think this has a huge potential.
