Demo instructions

This is a demo repo to try out real-time collaborative editing on Jupyterlab! I am so happy it's here!!.

Full credit for these instructions go to Jeremy Tuloup (@jtpio), they're a bit more verbose, but now that I understand what's happening, everything neededd was in that original gist.

Instructions

1. First create a public repository with three files at minimum:

• Demo.ipynb: a Jupyter notebook file.
• requirements.txt: File that tells binder to install the latest alpha jupyterlab (3.1.0a10 at the moment).
• jupyter_notebook_config.py: Config file that enables collaboration features to activate.

2. Head over to mybinder.org and put in your repo URL, and the branch name.
3. Importantly, to start a mybinder server running Jupyterlab, you need to add this to the "URL to open" field: lab/tree/Demo.ipynb (with Demo.ipynb being the name of your file).

4. Wait a few moments for the server to spin up.
5. Once you see the JupyterLab interface, there's a new top-level menu item called "Share"; click that, grab and share that URL, and you're done!
