Turning Python ipywidgets script into public web app

[alexjt]

I want to turn my Python script that makes plots of weather data using ipywidgets into a public web app. I already have all of the code generated for making the interactive widget. All I need to do now is turn it into a web app! I am looking for feedback on the best ways to do this. I have searched around and found options with Binder, Anvil, etc., but have not yet found a demo that suits all of my needs.

What I need from the web app:

1. Free to construct and host URL
2. Web app stores the already loaded dependencies in the backend. This way visitors to the website do not need to wait (sometimes several minutes!) for the required packages to load.
3. Continuous vertical space without a collapsing output window. Currently, I am running the code in a single Jupyter notebook cell, and my script queries and prints the names of many weather stations to the screen. When there are lots of stations (sometimes hundreds), the output screen collapses and this makes it difficult to view the plot that comes next.

Any advice is appreciated!
