Wow! It's so cool!
How is it better than streamlit though? Just because of the better integration with Jupyter notebook?

#12Definitely going to try this out. Looks like an interesting complement to Shiny for Python.
Re: Show HN: Mercury – Convert Jupyter notebooks to web apps
#13Not (necessarily) relevant to this solution, but I've recently come across a use case where it would be valuable to allow third-party (semi-trusted) individuals to sandbox/build/test some data processing/transformation pipelines in Jupyter and then "operationalize" that into ongoing ETL in my main webapp/API once they're finished. Not the same use case as Mercury but still in the bucket of hoisting a notebook into a…
I'm using Papermill to operationalize Notebooks (https://github.com/nteract/papermill), it e.g. also has airflow support. I'm really happy with papermill for automatic notebook execution, in my field it's nice that we can go very quickly from analysis to operations -- while having super transparent "logging" in the executed notebooks.

#14I find this super interesting!! while having a quick look, I got the impression, that Mercury runs 1 web service for 1 notebook right? For me it would be very helpful to something like a dashboard with 1 webservice supporting n notebooks.

Mercury was created for Jupyter Notebook. You don't need to rewrite your notebook to Python script to use web framework (Stremlit).

#16I don’t think your cookie popup is ePrivacy-compliant (no opt-out for non-essential cookies).

#17Really cool stuff. I run demos for clients with the data my company sells and this will be great for quick customized demos/use cases.

#18Looks good! I’ll certainly give it a try.
Just FYI, the layout in the “deployment” box near the bottom of the splash page is very shrunken on iPhone - so narrow that there’s basically one character width.

#19Interesting. I wonder how it compares to Voila. What I like about Voila is that you can use ipywidgets natively and then render Jupyter Notebooks directly to a web-app. Maybe this will be a decent competitor.

Humbly recommend when you share a product, you include a link to it ;)
