When I need to expose jupyter notebooks to non-technical users I put them on colab.research.google.com. It's a free, interactive, hosted Jupyter environment. It's not as slick as a dashboard, but it just requires an upload instead of maintaining a server.

With Mercury you can: - host multiple notebooks, - you can easily hide code, - you can schedule notebooks, - you can download notebooks as PDF, - you can easily add authentication to the notebooks. It all depends on your needs and project requirements.

you might want to give Kyso a try (Im a cofounder): https://about.kyso.io/ https://about.kyso.io/ We render jupyter notebooks, markown and html - we dont host running jupyter environments -> but we focus on making the experience of sharing with non-techies on your team easy. So can show/hide the code, get comments etc.

Ask HN: Any idea if jupyter lite is a contender for sharing notebooks?

  It might be a solution but not all python packages work with WebAssembly. The next problem might be connection to external data sources. You cant keep secrets in frontend code.

    Good point about secrets. Fortunately everything I write is for "internal use only" at my workplace, or if it's a home project, then I share everything. But I can see having to warn a non-techie that you're giving something which could reveal secrets if they pass it on to a third party. Especially since the secret stuff will be invisible to them unless they ask.
