## What it is
Jupyter NBViewer is a web application that renders Jupyter Notebooks as static HTML web pages, powering the public nbviewer.org service. It can be self-hosted via Docker and supports rendering notebooks from public URLs, GitHub repositories, and GitHub Enterprise instances.

## Use cases
- share a jupyter notebook as a static web page
- render ipynb files to html for viewing
- browse and view notebooks in a github repository
- self-host a notebook viewer service
- preview notebooks from github enterprise
- convert notebooks to slides or scripts for viewing

## When to choose
- you need to share read-only notebook views via stable public links
- you want to render notebooks from GitHub or GitHub Enterprise without executing them
- you want a self-hosted notebook rendering service deployable with Docker

## When to avoid
- you need to execute notebooks interactively - use Jupyter Notebook or JupyterLab instead
- you need to render private notebooks without a public URL
- you need full notebook conversion control - use nbconvert directly
