How to Create an Interactive Web Application using a Jupyter Notebook

There are various Python tools available to create web applications and frontend GUIs. For example, Flask and Django. As useful as they are, we still need to invest time in learning new frameworks. That might not be the highest on our priority list when we have spent a lot of time doing our Python project. Is there a way to create a simple, interactive web application with basic Python skills? The answer is yes, and this article will show you exactly that in five steps.

We will first create some interactive widgets using ipywidgets in a Jupyter notebook. Then, we will render the notebook as a web application using Voilà. We will push the project onto a GitHub repository, and finally, host the web app on Binder. Let’s get started.

Hi Hwei, thank you for this useful tutorial. Will it also work if I use other packages for my code, that I have installed with conda? Or will it require an extra step to install these packages for the user?
