About
This is my first Jupyter notebook extension and sort of my first dive into Javascript. The extension is simple enough that I hope it helps newcomers to extensions like me. It's really just a first step into what I want to do with fullscreen. I started here to make Plotly graphs fullscreen, but that it did not expand a cell to the entire fullscreen. If you are looking to make Plotly graphs fullscreen, using my extension with the Plotly-Fullscreen extension will get you all the way there. Random tip: jupyter --paths reveals where the data and config files go for Jupyter notebook. If you snoop around in those folders and files long enough, you'll probably find what you're looking for. Let's just say that sometimes uninstalling an extension does not purge Jupyter's memory of it.
