ipynbviewer is a script that outputs Jupyter Notebook in the terminal in a human readable format. It is particularly useful when you want to skim through your notebooks on ssh without having to start a jupyter notebook instance.

It highlights syntax, shows outputs and previews images (in very low resolution). It is customisable, you can easily add a new parser for different sources of code or output.

For now, ipynbviewer only supports python, markdown, text output, html outputs and images for ipynb v4.

Feel free to contribute by creating issues and pull requests.
