Feature request: access to jupyter kernels from h

[jibe-b]

Hi there!

I love hypothes.is and I use it more and more. One feature would be great, beyond annotation: the possibility to run code inside the h sidebar.

For sure, it is already possible to paste code inside a h.is note and let people run it on their own computer. But the same way as jupyter notebooks enable to run code inside the document, it would enable to run code in the same annotation layer. It could then be used for academics to discuss a publication, or simply by fact-checkers.

Developing a plugin that would enable it would require to add a server-side dependency, of something like a fiddle. Another way (for a less broad audience unfortunately) would be to make h have access to the jupyter kernel, thus displaying the results of the calculation.

This is simply an idea of feature. If I find time, I may try to develop something like this myself.

By the way, I expect that there be javascript limitations that apply here. Are there any?
