Recently Livebook had its first launch week. We met with Jonatan Kłosko, the developer behind most of the exciting new features, to learn what some of these additions are, how they actually work and what's coming with the new Teams feature. Jonatan shares some of his favorite unsung features and where the new apps ability may go in the future. Livebook is an important community project and it's fun getting a deeper look inside!
