Hi, I’m very impressed with your product and consider using it further and subscribing after tinkering with it a bit! Background: I don’t come from the scientific computing community, nor am I very familiar with cloud engineering implications. My primary job is building custom webapps for SMBs and the like, which are often deployed on cheap resources on the web or on internal infrastructure. And I teach programming part time at a design school which is one reason why I’m interested in Nextjournal. The primary use I’m looking for is tutorial-like and experimental documents that explore programming, math and CS concepts. The target audience is myself, anyone who is interested in the public space and hopefully I can leverage the tool for the course I’m teaching as well (unsure about that yet). This kind of use seems like a good fit. Do you agree? So what I’m interested in knowing are the implications of making documents public. I know there are at least two options: Either one can get a custom URL from your service where the document is made available. Or one can export a document to github and others can import it from there (at least one example on your page does something like that with Peter Norvig’s jupyter notebooks). The former is definitely more convenient! But I’m slightly worried that my billing would explode in the very unlikely event where a lot of people would use the document at the same time. Again, I have very little intuition of how to gauge cloud compute pricing. But the thought makes me slightly uncomfortable regardless of what is realistic/expected. The latter seems a bit like a cop out and I’m not sure if it is in the spirit of the product arrangement to do so? And then another question: If I consider using it in my course, what would the correct pricing scheme be? It is a very modest evening course, with participants hovering around 10 or so people. Again, beginners, so the use-case is not “expensive computations” but rather “collaborative live coding and tutorials”.

I just realized that this might be the wrong place to ask these questions. Sorry if that is the case!

@denis.baudinot Hi Denis, no worries asking here is good. I can’t answer right now by maybe my colleagues @kommen or @helios have time, otherwise I’ll get back to you later.

Thank you very much!
