Instead of looking for a quick 1:1 conversation from notebook --> app, it should be a line by line re-creation using a notebook as more of a whiteboard.

This approach while much slower limits errors and ensures sustainability because both the notebook creator and the app creator will know what's going on.

I think solutions like papermill and others only work when you have infinite money and time.

I agree with the idea of using it as a whiteboard - when I need to do casual programming and data analysis for my non-software job I tend to work it out in a notebook first, then start combining all the smaller cells into larger chunks that I then can move into a proper python script.
