Description
Hi HN, Every time I ran a training loop for a few days via Jupyter Notebook and ran into issues (network disconnected, my laptop suddenly died, etc.), I suffered from losing my ipykernel and cell outputs. I wanted to keep seeing my live outputs right inside the IDE without constantly checking W&B or log files. It is such a hassle. That's why I built Tithon. Let me know what you think!

Could you build this?
Partial Interfacing with the VS Code extension API is straightforward, but maintaining persistent remote Jupyter kernel processes decoupled from IDE connection drops requires custom kernel management infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Requires a background daemon running on the remote host that proxies the ZeroMQ Jupyter kernel sockets and records message history (IOPub channels) into a durable buffer or database. A companion VS Code extension communicates with this daemon over WebSocket or SSH tunnel to replay missed cell outputs upon reconnection. Building the ZeroMQ proxy and session reconnection protocol requires deep networking and Jupyter protocol expertise.
