Scientific progress is built on the spread and evolution of ideas. The faster ideas can move, the further we go; but ideas can only evolve as fast as the media they're shared with lets them.

The internet and the open web revolutionised how we share ideas. Yet to share, reproduce or reuse research built on **code**, which is most research these days, you need to jump through hoops -- set up environments for libraries, track software dependencies, download and debug interactive notebooks, git repositories, and cloud storage and cloud computing services. Just reproducing, let alone reUSING other peoples work, proves daunting.

We believe research needs a new home.
