Widget Management and Modularization in Notebooks

Objective: Explore options for managing widget implementations across multiple notebooks, with an initial focus on the HeaderWidget.

Options:

1. Current Approach:

   • Keep implementing HeaderWidget directly within each notebook.
   • Works well for now, as it primarily affects the introductory sections of the notebooks.

2. PyPI Package:

   • Create a separate marimo-widgets package for commonly used widgets (e.g., HeaderWidget).
   • Streamline notebooks by removing repetitive implementations.
   • Simplify dependencies by consolidating anywidget and traitlets into a single package dependency.

Future Considerations:

• As more common widgets or structures are developed, migrate them into marimo-widgets to avoid redundancy.
• Each widget class (e.g., HeaderWidget) could become a subset of the main package.

Potential Widgets & Components:
