As mentioned in question is there something like iPython's notebook (jupyter) for R-CRAN?

Answer 1

Have a look at Ramnath's R notebook:

And here's the GitHub: https://github.com/ramnathv/rNotebook

I think the new editR package is what you're after

Not sure it would be an exact equivalent of iPython's notebooks, but you can use knitr to make literacy programming in R, by inserting code chunks inside a document. If you use a format like RMarkdown, you can export the document and the result of the code chunks to HTML. You can then publish the HTML file somewhere, or use sites like Rpubs. This process is quite straightforward if you use the RStudio IDE.

Another way, if you are an Emacs user, is to use org-mode and its extension org-babel.

Finally, you should be able to create more dynamic things with a framework like shiny. See for example the following knitr demo from the shiny library :

R> library(shiny)
R> demo("notebook", package = "knitr")
