Scientific publishing is still organized around bundles built for print. We use music’s shift from albums to streaming to argue why access and unbundling aren’t enough.
Shared standards are the missing layer for reusable, trustworthy science.

Adding an `anywidget` style/based directive & renderer into the core @mystmd.org stack is a big win for custom interactivity and extensibility.
My contribution this week: to round off the first cut implementation - based on what've had in prod at @curvenote.com.

In a digital world, we are increasingly constrained by boundaries that no longer make sense. In a world of artificial intelligence, what does the bundle prevent us from seeing?
Scientific publishing is still organized around bundles built for print. We use music’s shift from albums to streaming to argue why access and unbundling aren’t enough.

Exciting developments for running @mystmd in @jupyter.org hubs.
Running live previews with the @mystmd.org CLI on a JupyterHub has been a challenge so far - the available theme servers are not setup well to support this. We've made progress on a solution that's almost ready to share, meantime this explains the problems it solves:

For data-citation principles, does anyone know how to use bibtex to indicate that things are a dataset?
I am seeing a lot of `[dataset]` in text in the title, which doesn't do a great job in translating to machine-readable data.
