illusionist

Illusionist takes a Jupyter Notebooks with widgets and converts it to a dynamic HTML report that maintains the interactivity of the widgets without a running Jupyter kernel.

It does this by making all computation upfront and serializing all the possible outputs. It generates a self-contained asset that you can easily drop into any webserver and have an interactive report that scales.

The main idea of Jupyter Notebooks and Jupyter widgets is to make data closer to the data scientists while maintaining interactivity, they do a great job at that. Illusionist maintains the same workflow Jupyter users are used to by using regular ipywidgets and Jupyter tooling. No need to import anything in your notebook, to generate a report just run one nbconvert command to generate your report.

These reports are a lot easier to deploy, scale and increases their longevity by removing a lot of the deployment requirements.

Right now it only supports the creation of one single fat HTML file which works with small-medium reports which are the most common ones. But I have plans to make this easier to scale to larger reports with more outputs.
