Hi guys,
I think that my little demo is more about the potential of webGL + IPython
than about the molecule drawer itself. If a bigger project like XTK can be
ported easily, it could open up a lot of doors for IPython tools.
Anyway, I'll look through the xtk + ipython examples soon and throw this
molecule drawer idea into a new repo. If webgl + ipython picks up, it'll be
around.
Cheers,
Pat
