Use pyodide to render the docs #120

Open ianhi opened 3 years ago

Problem

Docs are filled with gifs instead of interactive plots. That is extremely sad.

Suggested Improvement

Use pyodide to render python interactions on the docs. It is possible to create interactive matplotlib plots via pyodide see https://alpha.iodide.io/notebooks/300/

Unclear how to best integrate with sphinx though maybe the trail of https://github.com/iodide-project/pyodide/issues/44 can help

I think this will be more performant than thebelab

I suspect that this will not be trivial - but it would also be so great
