MyST Markdown
A flavour of Markdown that was designed for scientific and technical writing.
Sometimes referred to simply as MyST.
MyST
MyST can either refer to the markup syntax or the command-line interface.
Markup Syntax: MyST is a flavour of Markdown that was designed for scientific and technical writing. MyST is a combination of CommonMark Markdown and extra syntax to support technical writing, such as cross-references, citations, equations and figures. For clarity in this usage, use MyST Markdown.
Command-Line Interface: MyST is a parser and set of command-line tools for creating websites and documents. For clarity in this usage, use MyST-CLI.

Binder
A free, public service for running reproducible interactive computing environments. Binder is a 100% open source infrastructure that is run by members of the Jupyter community. The underlying technology behind the Binder project is BinderHub.
BinderHub
The underlying technology of https://mybinder.org, BinderHub is an open source tool that runs on Kubernetes and utilizes a JupyterHub in order to provide live, reproducible interactive computing environments that users host on GitHub.
Google Colab
A Jupyter Notebook service from Google that provides access to free computing resources, including GPUs and TPUs.
JupyterHub
A core open source tool from the Jupyter community, JupyterHub allows you to deploy an application that provides remote data science environments to multiple users. It can be deployed in the cloud, or on your own hardware.
Jupyter Book
Jupyter Book is a distribution of Sphinx that allows you to write content in markdown and Jupyter Notebooks, execute content and insert it into your book, and build a variety of outputs for interactivity and document publishing.
