JupyterLab FS Competitive Analysis

[grey280]

Hello from the UC Irvine team! We’ve been doing a lot of research on file systems, and have put together a competitive analysis, looking at other file browsing/management UIs to see what the best practices are, and what cool/useful ideas we should steal borrow.

At the moment, I’m linking to the document as stored in my personal .github.io repo; we’re hoping @tgeorgeux can get us a better permanent place to store these, to clarify that they belong to the Jupyter community. Once that happens, I’ll come back and link to the new location.

We also did a heuristic evaluation of the current file manager in JupyterLab, which we’ve posted as jupyter/design#63, if you’re interested.

Thanks,

The UCI team: @jabumeri, @JDLEarley, @emilythefan, @Nastraughn, and myself

Hi there. I'm working on adapting jupyter lab to handle multi-storage systems. Interested in what you are doing.
