The ipywidgets/ipyleaflet-based viewer was an early experiment and never reached parity with the main web UI. It's been drifting further behind with every UI change (still uses the pre-React frontend assumptions, pre-GeoZarr data model, no time-series chart, no reference-point support, none of the recent toolbar/profile work). Cheaper to reimplement on top of the current API surface than to bring the existing widget up to date. ### Removed - `src/bowser/_widget.py` (329 lines) - `docs/example_widget_usage.ipynb` - `[project.optional-dependencies].widget` — drops `jupyter`, `matplotlib`, `ipympl`, `ipywidgets`, `ipyleaflet`, `bqplot`, `requests` as optional deps - `[tool.pixi.environments].widget` — pixi env no longer solved - `## Running in Jupyter` section of the README Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
The
_widget.pyipywidgets/ipyleaflet viewer was an early experiment that never reached parity with the main web UI and has been drifting further behind. It predates the React frontend, the GeoZarr data model, reference-point tracking, profile/measurement tools, and the time-series chart — none of which it supports.Cheaper to reimplement on top of the current API surface if anyone ever asks for it again than to drag the current one forward.
