Hi @pac02
All notebooks created in the Free tier will be public from the moment they are created. We understand that this will create a situation where there will be many ‘unfinished’ notebooks visible on the platform. We are working on ways to indicate that a notebook is still a work in progress, so hopefully that will alleviate this concern. We also believe that it would be beneficial for people to share work in progress notebooks. Not all notebooks need to be perfect and complete. In fact, it is often during construction of a notebook that you can get the most benefit from feedback and ideas from others. Making the notebook public during construction could open up new ways for people to collaborate.
We hope people will adjust their workflows and perspectives and rally around public collaboration.
