 This is the best way to run the tutorials or even do exploratory research
 to test the model, before you move on to more serious computations.
 
-We provide two solutions to try OGGM online, without local installation.
-
-The simplest and quickest solution is :ref:`oggm-binder` (no registration necessary).
-:ref:`oggm-hub` is much better for more serious work and requires to send us
