Can I make a livebook public?
Hello,
I have an Elixir library that I’d like to create interactive documentation for. I saw livebook and thought it would be a perfect fit. I am curious if its possible to write said documentation and then be able to create a sharable version of it that can be accessed by anyone.
I launched livebook via fly.io and did a little test page and then shared it. I opened it up on my phone and it asked me to authenticate.
Is my thinking off base to think that a livebook could be something like https://readme.com/ but with inline elixir code evaluation?

The idea currently would be, that you create a liveview page and that people having access to a (their own) livebook server execute and play with it in there.

The sharing part of livebook are not the instances but the files. As others have mentioned sharing the runtime in a secure way is simply not feasable.

From the readme
- Decentralized: Livebook is open-source and you can run it anywhere. The “Run in Livebook” badges makes it easy to import any Livebook into your preferred Livebook instance.

You have to trust all people using it.
Livebook in a sandbox would be cool, but there is no Elixir sandbox (that I know of).

@jonericcook Definitely a fair question - something I am also wondering as I take my first look at livebook. It is pretty cool, and I was hoping to use it to publicly document one of my personal projects. I thought it might be possible to “publish” a livebook so that there was no editing access available to the code cells and they could just be executed..
EDIT
Just thought about this more on my way morning trip to the supermarket and realised that I missed the point of livebook in this situation (thinking more about the decentralised comment above). Of course you can document your own project, the documentation can live with the repo rather than being published to a central location.
Having a published public view of course introduces access roles and other authentication.
