After some upstreaming work by @curvenote.com and further work by the @mystmd.org core team, `anywidget` directive is now natively supported in `mystmd` and Jupyter Book 🎉 jupyterbook.org/blog/posts/2...

Made some #bluesky profile cards for @mystmd.org via the widget interface (widget doesn't feel like right interface, but a handy starting point). Just needed a fetch call to api.bsky.app 🤩 wrote more about it here. more #bsky / #atproto experiments coming. opensci.dev/articles/blu...

New release 🚀 We just shipped several UX and UI bugfixes in the Jupyter Book and MyST stack. - mystmd v1.8.1 jupyterbook.org/releases/mys... - myst-theme v1.1.2 jupyterbook.org/releases/mys... We will get a jupyter-book release out to bring these in as soon as we fix our release infra 😅

Adding an `anywidget` style/based directive & renderer into the core @mystmd.org stack is a big win for custom interactivity and extensibility. My contribution this week: to round off the first cut implementation - based on what've had in prod at @curvenote.com. opensci.dev/articles/ups...

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...

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
