Marimo notebooks provide a reactive environment that addresses the limitations of linear notebooks, allowing for content reproduction and sharing.
Features of Marimo include automatic cell updates, determining correct cell running order through a directed acyclic graph, and sandboxing for isolated environments.
Interactivity can be added using UI elements like sliders and radio buttons in Marimo notebooks.
Traditional linear notebooks have flaws that Marimo's reactive design tackles, such as hidden state issues.
To get started with Marimo, you can quickly install it using 'python -m pip install marimo'.
Marimo notebooks consist of cells – code cells for Python code and Markdown cells for formatted text.
An example in the tutorial involves solving simultaneous equations with NumPy in a Marimo notebook.
Icons in Marimo notebooks provide functions like deleting cells, running, and indicating cell status.
Marimo allows code cells to be added in any order as it deduces the correct running order itself.
Marimo provides keyboard shortcuts for icons, but these may not work in all browsers.
