Kernel

Kernel is a customizable desktop notebook that sits somewhere between VsCode editor and jupyter notebook. Built this because I don't like notion's color scheme and VsCode is great but not for notes. I love notion, but the color scheme and font aren't as nice as the github dark plugins you can get on VsCode.
