Congrats on the launch!
Looks great and works on my Mac

Not sure if you’re aware, but when browsing the blog homepage and clicking on an article lower down the page the page doesn’t jump to the top of the article you clicked on…

Congratulations !
Is any Linux version planned ?
hugobarauna
Thanks!
We are not planning a Linux version right now, but one can still install Livebook in other ways in a Linux machine.
That said, we would definitely consider contributions!
hugobarauna
Didn’t know about that, thanks!

Finally I installed Livebook Desktop on my main Windows machine (as there sadly is no Chromebook version).
Is it supposed to open a new tab in my normal browser or to open in a seperate window?
hugobarauna
It’s supposed to open a tab in your default browser.
Although there’s no Livebook Desktop distribution for Chromebook, there are other ways to install Livebook:
if you don’t have Elixir installed on your machine:
If you have Elixir installed on your your machine:
There’s more info about installation that in the README.

Thanks for your explanation. On my chromebook I use Livebook installed from source.
So it’s pretty much the same on windows desktop as it’s on chromebook directly installed from source - allright
So now that I put livebook.exe in my autostart folder, after booting windows I have a livebook icon in the tray and it automatically opens my browser. Can I configure it that there is only the icon and not directly opening my browser?
hugobarauna
Good question, I don’t know the answer.
@wojtekmach can you help here?
