Office 365 (and Google Spreadsheets) are technically capable of very similar solutions for $10/month. Compare Office 365 Business Plans

Jupyter names comes from names of programming languages Julia, Python and R
Now there are 50+ supported languages. It is an evolution of IPython Notebooks

It is almost like when first web browser was created... by chance (Netscape) it changed the world.
Where is a new "Netscape" for "Notebooks?"
