What version of Holochain does it target?

The manifests pin the Holochain HDK at 0.7.0 and the Holochain client at 0.21.0.

How do I build and run notebooks?

Set up the Holochain nix-shell environment, run npm install, then npm run build:happ to build the DNA and npm start to launch the UI on its own port, connected to the other agents.

Run npm run package to build notebooks.webhapp, which is what you should distribute so the Holochain Launcher can install it; the project is also classed as a Moss tool.

What is notebooks and does it work?

notebooks is a peer-to-peer app from lightningrodlabs built for the Moss workspace; it was last pushed on 8 September 2026 and its latest release, happ-v0.7.0, came out on 10 August 2026. We know this from the project's build documentation and its GitHub release record, read on 13 September 2026.

notebooks is a code repository from lightningrodlabs, the organisation that builds peer-to-peer Holochain apps such as the Moss collaborative workspace. The project is active: it was last pushed on 8 September 2026 and its most recent release, happ-v0.7.0, was published on 10 August 2026. Development targets Holochain version 0.7.0.

The manifests pin the Rust Holochain HDK at 0.7.0 and the Holochain client at 0.21.0, and include both a happ.yaml and a webhapp.yaml. Building is driven by npm scripts: npm run build:happ compiles the DNA, npm run test runs the DNA tests, and npm run package produces a notebooks.webhapp in the workdir together with its subcomponent notebooks.happ.

The census classifies notebooks as a Moss tool, and the packaged webhapp is what you should distribute so that the Holochain Launcher can install it. To work on it you set up the Holochain nix-shell developer environment, then npm start launches the UI, with each agent you create getting its own port and connecting to the other agents.

How to get it

moss-tool

Install the Holochain nix-shell developer environment.
Clone the repository and run nix-shell, then npm install.
Run npm run package to build notebooks.webhapp in the workdir.
Distribute notebooks.webhapp so the Holochain Launcher can install it.

Does notebooks run for you?

Say so, and the page counts it. A GitHub account older than six months is the proof; the maintainer cannot vote. Nothing here changes where a project appears in any list.
