## Description

**Ipynb Viewer** is a Chrome extension designed to seamlessly open and view `.ipynb` Jupyter notebook files on mobile devices and tablets. Leveraging HTML rendering cached locally, it provides users with smooth and fast notebook viewing without the need for editing capabilities.

Key features include the ability to save notebooks as PDFs with customizable options such as portrait or landscape layout, support for multiple HTML rendering modes, and zoom functionality for clear readability. It integrates with Google Drive's default file picker for convenient access to notebooks stored in the cloud, including compatibility with Google Colab. The extension also offers an experimental feature supporting original Jupyter NbConversion rendering.

Future updates aim to enhance performance, enable opening notebooks directly from the file manager or links (like GitHub or Gist), and improve the experimental features with faster servers. Please note, this extension focuses on viewing only; editing should be done through platforms like Google Colab.

## Review summary

The Ipynb Viewer app is praised for effectively allowing users to view Jupyter Notebook files quickly and easily on their Android devices without intrusive ads, offering a user-friendly experience and useful features like saving files. However, multiple users noted that the app does not integrate well with the system 'open with' options, requiring users to manually import files, and it does not support editing notebooks, limiting functionality to viewing only.

### Pros

- Fast and reliable way to preview notebooks on mobile compared to online websites
- User-friendly interface and easy to use
- No intrusive ads blocking content unlike other similar apps
- Provides functionality to save files, which is unique among similar apps

### Cons

- Does not appear in the Android 'Open with' options, lowering usability
- Cannot open .ipynb files directly from other apps without first importing them into the app
- Lacks editing capabilities for the notebooks (view only)
