Thanks for your feedback, Mathematica has indeed millions of $ to provide more features and advertise them, and Jupyter have only a few full time devs that probably do not advertise enough its features:

1) Binder makes that a git push away https://mybinder.org/ Want to check the discovery of gravitational waves ? Go ahead ! https://github.com/minrk/ligo-binder You know the nice thing ? it does not require you to opt-in, as long as a repo is public you an run it. So you don't need have to deploy, or know it exists. we are _already_ doing that for you.

2) Jupyter is "Just" the frontend. StackOverflow have matpltlolib, numpy, sympy, .. tags. We don't the subdomain (yet), and I actually prefer to have tags to have better searching :-)

3) Sure it's called ipywidgets (https://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), that's the tech. From ipywidgets import interact, and @interact as decorator on your function... that's it.

4) For convenience Library that use ipywidgets for 3D see https://ipyvolume.readthedocs.io/en/latest/animation.html (Hey it also support VR !) See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ3HQpSXn2U that will blow your mind.

We'll try to be better at advertising our features !

MyBinder is great. As well as cocalc and sagemath. There's also https://notebooks.azure.com which is a free hosting of Jupyter notebooks. You get a linux/docker container w a Terminal, Anaconda, etc.

Check out jakevp's book for example:

https://notebooks.azure.com/jakevdp/libraries/PythonDataScie...

Clone to run.

Also try Jupyter Lab (experimental) - closer to an IDE than plain notebooks. right click on a Library (repo) and select Open in Jupyter Lab.
