Voila is the obvious competitor to this. There are also different oranges and apples such as Dash, Streamlit, Panel: https://anaconda.cloud/dashboardlandscape https://anaconda.cloud/dashboardlandscape - obviously Anaconda is a bit biased here.
I suppose the biggest limitation to Mercury is the limited number of widgets.
Good for quick demos.
Also deployment is a bit unclear at the moment - I wonder how easy it is to keep Mercury deployed in a separate Docker container - that is I do not want to keep random ports open on my notebook server.
Then again probably deployment/hosting is how Mercury expects to make some money.

You are right. We are working on Mercury Cloud service where you can just upload notebook to deploy it. We have free and paid plans. But you can also self-host Mercury with docker-compose.
