Open an ipython notebook via double-click on osx

Solution

Use Pineapple application for opening and working on your IPython/Jupyter notebooks. It is pretty cool.

Update:

Now there is nteract, which is a new jupyter-like Desktop app. After installing it, make it the default app for opening `.ipynb` files. Then just double-click any notebook to start it right away.

Problem

I've downloaded a couple of ipython notebooks, and I'd like to open them in browser tabs without navigating to the directory I've downloaded them to and running `ipython notebook notebook_name.ipynb`. I realize this probably means I'm lazy, but it seems like a common use case to me. Am I missing something obvious?
