We're proud to announce a new release of the Jupyter Book stack! This brings in a number of fixes and UI improvements! Check out release notes for each here: mystmd 1.8: github.com/jupyter-book... myst-theme 1.1: github.com/jupyter-book... jupyter-book 2.1.1: github.com/jupyter-book...

Running live previews with the @mystmd.org CLI on a JupyterHub has been a challenge so far - the available theme servers are not setup well to support this. We've made progress on a solution that's almost ready to share, meantime this explains the problems it solves: opensci.dev/articles/jup...

The page-last-updated plugin is a MyST plugin to make it clear to readers when your content was updated on each page. Here's a little post about how it works and where to learn about more plugins like it! blog.jupyterbook.org/posts/2026/p...

I (and we @mystmd.org) have been working on releasing new version of the MyST Markdown AST. A foundational change to the representation of Jupyter outputs that sets up a lot of future possibilities - notes and thoughts are here: opensci.dev/articles/on-...

The Jupyter Book team has been working hard on a big foundational improvement to how notebook outputs are represented in MyST documents. Steve writes about this change and what it means in this post: blog.jupyterbook.org/posts/2025-1...

We've just moved our `any-widget` based directives and renders for @mystmd.org into a public repo on @curvenote.com . After quite a while tinkering these are nicely supporting interactive visualizations - more work to fully implement the full `any-widget` interface coming github.com/curvenote/cu...

The Jupyter Book gallery is back! Now with the MyST Engine under the hood! Thanks to @FreekPols for contributing it. jupyterbook.org/latest/galle...

We recently pushed Jupyter Book 2, which was a breaking change for many of our users! We considered publishing a completely different package (e.g., `jupyter-book2`) but decided against it. Here's a quick rationale why:

JupyterBook 2 is released! This is now built on top of the @mystmd.org engine directly. 🚀 Please reach out on our GitHub discussions if you have any problems upgrading.

🚀 Exciting news! The SciPy 2025 Proceedings are officially published: 👉 proceedings.scipy.org/2025 Huge thanks to the Proceedings Committee, @curvenote.com, Jim Weiss, all the authors, and reviewers who made this happen. 🙌

@creativecommons.bsky.social and @continuous.foundation are teaming up to make reuse the default for modular science. Join the cohort working to shape incentives for reuse in modular science. The group will kick off in January 2026. Apply by Sunday, Nov 30 continuousfoundation.org/reuse-form

🚨 New paper! The @jupyterbook.org team just published a peer-reviewed paper in the SciPy Proceedings describing the design & architecture of Jupyter Book 2 and the MyST Document Engine! 📝 blog post: blog.jupyterbook.org/posts/2025-j... 📄 paper: proceedings.scipy.org/articles/hwc...

@mystmd.org 1.5 is out, along with an updated web theme! github.com/jupyter-book... github.com/jupyter-book... Improved site footers, hidden entries and external URLs in table of contents, better UI for in-browser execution plus improved docs and bug-fixes.

Release notes from the 1.4 release of @mystmd.org - the team made a bunch of improvements on social media links, plugin functionality, and documentation for contributors and developers! github.com/jupyter-book...

A Jupyter Book team goal over the past months has been improving the documentation for users and contributors in the @mystmd.org project. I wanted to share two important pages with big updates! A conceptual overview of MyST: mystmd.org/guide/overview Our developer guide: mystmd.org/guide/develo...

The @mystmd.org theme now has support for "page edit" buttons! These take you directly to the source page in GitHub so that you can quickly make an edit. They are so useful! Many thanks to Kira for getting this in with her first contribution to the MyST Theme! github.com/jupyter-book...

Thanks to Stefan for a big-ish improvement to the contributing and developer documentation docs. This kind of thing is critical for growing an open source project like @mystmd.org and it's really hard to write when you've been working on it for a long time! github.com/jupyter-book...

A @mystmd.org appreciation moment: making presentations with notebooks is SO much easier! I presented today with slides + notebooks on intake-esgf/intake-esm, with materials available on this website mgrover1.github.io/esds-intake-...

🚀 You can now explore an analysis inside of a scientific paper! @row1.ca shows you how to connect data, software, and story into interactive, dynamic publications using @mystmd.org 📺 Watch now -> youtu.be/zrwt0PX5mdM?... #OpenScience #Reproducibility #science #opensource

Wohoo we can define custom CSS stylesheets with @mystmd.org github.com/jupyter-book... (in the next release)

Excited to see the @turingway.bsky.social move to Jupyter v2, which is powered by mystmd.org. Check it out: book.the-turing-way.org Especially the glossary: book.the-turing-way.org/afterword/gl...

Hey there 🦋🧪, we're a new open access microscopy journal and wanted to introduce ourselves! EM aims to modernize scientific publishing for microscopy, by prioritizing open science, transparency, and accessibility and using open-source formats and interactive notebooks 🙌 @curvenote.com @mystmd.org 🚀

New MyST proposal! It's for a short-hand way to add classes/options/labels to roles and directives. Read and comment here: github.com/jupyter-book... This will unlock a lot of functionality for extending roles in particular, I'm really excited about it! (led by @row1.ca and @agoose77.bsky.social)

Woo! @mystmd.org can now hide inputs/outputs of jupyter notebook cells via tags! Thanks @row1.ca for the contribution! github.com/jupyter-book...

Still science in 2024: "Our figure 2 shows this result clearly. Please scroll down 30 PAGES to see it..." PS with @curvenote.com journals, inline figures can go full-width, and any reference to a figure shows it in a hover popup.

Great job by @row1.ca at the #AGU24 #OpenScience pavillion, discussing @mystmd.org and the future of scientific publishing

Big announcement: Jupyter Book 2.0 has an alpha release 🎉 This is a major overhaul to use the @MystMarkdown engine under the hood. Lots of improvements and lots of changes. If you're willing to try bleeding edge tools, try it out and give feedback! blog.jupyterbook.org/posts/2024-1...

I'm super excited about Jupyter Book v2! blog.jupyterbook.org/posts/2024-1... The Jupyter Book / Executable Books / MyST / Curvenote team are all incredible and doing some of the most interesting things in the publishing space at the moment. The people on this list are heroes of open source.

So many attention to details in the SciPy Proceedings (@scipyconf.bsky.social), including showing hover-previews of GitHub pull requests. Probably not too many journal articles that do that .. ! proceedings.scipy.org/articles/ger...

Thanks to the @mystmd.org team for all the amazing work they are doing!! I am glad we could sprint on something I hope the community finds helpful!

Very happy to see MyST uses "in the wild", especially in these kinds of customized/infrastructure-type situations. Thanks @mgroverwx.bsky.social and kudos to the great work by the whole @mystmd.org team!

I am excited to share progress from our group at my first #HackTheHackathon! We worked on a cookiecutter template for hackathon organizers based on Myst (@row1.ca) :) this includes: ✅ sample schedule ✅ instructor table ✅ issues-based planning checklist (autogenerated) github.com/hackthackath...

Huge congrats to @row1.ca @choldgraf.com and the rest of the MyST/JupyterBook team! The first alpha of JupyterBook based on MyST is now out! 🚀 Please help us kick the tires and file issues on Github, so we can make this as smooth a transition as possible. blog.jupyterbook.org/posts/2024-1...
