This suggestion hits an important scenario. Generally speaking, we would like to have an un-executed version of the notebook to run in binder. That’s what most of our existing example binders do. We don’t want the cells to be run, because we want the users to have the experience of seeing the output appear for the first time.
On the other hand, we would like to have fully “built” output for display in galleries, like our pangeo use cases.
Currently these are completely separate things. It would be great to be able to unify them somehow.
