I'd love to see the ability to set environment variables, or some sort of global variable behind the scenes, e.g. with credentials, so that they could be used in code, without having to expose said credentials to the public, similar to how some CIs do it, such as CircleCI. (Obviously with said variables being cleared out on clones, or at least set to null, since otherwise, editing said code would result in being able to just log out the hidden data) Another alternative is having a public key available to encrypt things with, allowing it to be decrypted by the server's private key.

Of course, I imagine this is a non-trivial feature, and there are likely better approaches.

Super awesome job guys!





It would be nice to have a settings button on the notebook, along the side with the publish/delete buttons, instead of having to go to Help -> The link to environment variables, or the link from the homescreen. Just a thought :)


The settings UI is pretty... bare bones at the moment. We'll hopefully have something much better in the near future.


I really need to dig into this more! That's exactly what I was thinking! Fantastic!
