Did I read it correctly that, unlike Jupyter Notebook, none of them are FOSS alternatives or competitors, much less self-hosted FOSS?

- CoCalc (which I wrote) can be self-hosted but is NOT FOSS, though you can browse the code here: https://github.com/sagemathinc/cocalc -- do a quick "self hosted" test if you want by typing "docker run --name=cocalc-trial -d -p 4043:443 sagemathinc/cocalc-trial"

- Google Colab is fully closed source and I think there is no self hosted option.

- Deepnote is fully closed source and I think has no self hosted option.

- Saturn Cloud enterprise is a self hosted option for Saturn Cloud. Saturn Cloud is I think a nice management layer around open source JupyterLab.

- I think Apache Zeppelin is self-hostable FOSS.

This is a blog post by ClickUp -- it's basically an SEO article "10 Jupyter Notebook Alternatives and Competitors in 2024" published two days ago, which isn't badly written. CoCalc, Colab, Deepnote and Saturn cloud are all on the list, and skimming it I didn't see anything really wrong with their descriptions. The description of their own product ClickUp seems odd, making it out to be a Jupyter competitor, which seems a bit of a stretch. ClickUp appears to be a fancy collaborative AI assisted project management and work tool - it's pretty cool, but nothing like Jupyter.

I’ve been using Deepnote for almost two years now, and it’s hands down the best tool I’ve ever used for data processing
