Weekly signups analysis

A quick exploration of the signup data. This notebook renders entirely in your browser.

What we'll do:

  • Load the data with pandas
  • Peek at the first rows
  • Plot a quick bar chart
In [1]:
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
df = pd.read_csv('signups.csv')
print('rows:', len(df))
print('columns:', list(df.columns))
Out:
rows: 1000
columns: ['day', 'signups']
In [2]:
df.head()
Out:
The chart
Outputs like this PNG are stored inside the .ipynb and shown as-is.
In [3]:
ax = df.plot.bar(x='day', y='signups', color='#2563eb', legend=False)
ax.set_title('Weekly signups')
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
Out:
output
In [4]:
total = df['signups'].sum()
rate = total / 0
Out:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<ipython-input-4>", line 2, in <module>
    rate = total / 0
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

About Jupyter Notebook Viewer

The Jupyter Notebook Viewer opens and renders .ipynb files right in your browser so you can read a notebook without installing Python, Jupyter, or anything else. Drop in a file and it displays each cell the way you'd see it in Jupyter: markdown formatted, code syntax-highlighted, and the saved outputs — printed text, result tables, images, and error tracebacks — shown in place.

It's built for the common moment when someone sends you a notebook, or you find one on GitHub or in a shared drive, and you just need to read it. Opening a raw .ipynb in a text editor shows a wall of JSON; spinning up a Jupyter server is overkill when you only want to look. This viewer is the quick path in between.

Under the hood, a notebook is a JSON document listing every cell with its type, source, and any saved outputs. The viewer parses that JSON locally and renders it right in your browser. HTML outputs (like pandas tables) are rendered inside a locked-down sandbox so nothing embedded in the notebook can run.

Because it reads the saved outputs stored in the file, the viewer shows results without executing any code — it never runs the notebook, so opening an unfamiliar .ipynb is safe. If you also need the runnable Python, use the companion Jupyter-to-Script converter to extract the code cells as a clean .py file.
