Bug reporting

Hi all.

I've used Gesis Notebooks for 5 months now and have some issues to report.

The server sometimes crashed while I was editing a Jupyter notebook. The message "No kernel!" appeared. It didn't happen because of more than 40 minutes inactivity, but while just working in the notebooks.
Sometimes it was even not possible to save my edits and the error "Saving failed" appeared.

As I already talked to Arnim the problem is probably due to internet stability problems. Sometimes I have a bad connection and high ping. In these cases I could still use my browser and start the server as well, but I could not save my edits and a few moments later the message "No kernel!" appeared again.

Long story short: Probably a stabile internet connection is necessary for using Gesis Notebooks.

Feature requests

Launch private repositories: The last month I've worked with a private repository and to use Gesis Notebooks I first had to launch a public repository and within this I cloned the private repository. So it would be nice, if private repositories could be launched directly from Gesis Notebooks.

refacturing: It can be really frustrating, when you're changing a variable's name and have to do it like 20 times manually. Therefore it would enhance the productivity if refacturing is added.

Cheers,
Michelle

Thank you @michellereiners for your feedback ;)
The "No kernel" issue might indeed have something to do with your internet connectivity. Yet, we will more closely look into it.

Your point on launching private repositories is very important and we should certainly do that in the upcoming development round. Could you create a separate issue covering only this so that it doesn't get lost?
