So, if the code can run on the server, is there any security or is assumed that only trusted people use the notebook?

Only trusted people use the notebook, after all the whole purpose of the notebook is code evaluation. :). There is both token and password authentication available.

makes perfect sense for the application, was just curious if livebook brings a safe way to sandbox elixir.

Just watched the presentation, looks beautiful, well done everyone!
Am I the only one who thought that a livebook woulld make for an exciting interactive sort of blogging platform? Like not only including code sections but allowing people to run them and inspect them in detail while reading the post.
Man, I should create a company selling livebook blogging themes

I’ve watched the whole thing and it’s beautifully executed, even though Jose says it’s a “first draft” it looks and works wonderfully.
Can’t wait to replace Python with this at work!
Great job!

That would require that the Elixir code can’t do any harm to the blog-server.
Otherwise I come to your blog and install a dogecoin-miner.

The same feeling came to me.
But as mentioned, one will have to secure the code execution.
Maybe let people run code that you wrote but not add anything of their own, so taking away the collaborative aspect of the equation.

Public read only version?
P.S. Regarding ML direction - sometimes you want to output images, charts etc, and current elixir ecosystem is pretty far away from this at this moment. Something for version 2.0 or so

Lots to like here …
- live collaboration out of the box – sweet.
- it’s nucking futs how quickly and effortlessly you cranked out the ML example. One of the most compelling showcases for Elixir’s expressiveness and pattern matching I’ve seen
- I’ve always liked self-contained, portable, forkable, version-controllable documentation archives. Could see this revolutionizing API and package documentation, which is how I intend to use it right away.
Nice work.
