Very. Evidence is oriented towards data teams who are building and maintaining large reporting and analysis applications for businesses. Jupyter is better suited to one off analysis.
For example:
Access to the underlying web framework (svelte kit) so you can use svelte’s templating (loops, conditionals), css, and (if you want) client side js in your reports
Works with CI/CD out of the box. Deploy to vercel, netlify, your own infra.
SQL, not python, as the main language so your reporting can be maintained and extended by most data analysts.
There’s a lot more we’re working on to extend the differences. Internally we refer to the two buckets as “best of BI” and “best of web frameworks”, if that gives you some indication of where we’re headed.
Orienting the product to a different audience and therefore changing the defaults is fair enough.
Jupyter is better suited to one off analysis.

Jupyter is suited for whatever you want to do with it. Voila exists to enable the use case of re-generating notebooks on a CI/CD system: https://github.com/voila-dashboards/voila
Anyways, seems like the templating is more powerful than the one being offered by Jupyter Notebooks.
I can't deep dive where I currently am so thought I would drop a question to come back to.
I'm developing a complex business app with SvelteKit which would benefit massively from integrated reports and widgets. Is there a way I can easily utilise this to drop the resulting output directly into my own Svelte pages?

Good luck and much success with it :)

It's easy to embed a production Evidence site into other apps/sites (can use an iframe), but it's a bit trickier to get that working behind auth.
We can help you figure out if it's feasible - let me know and we can set up some time to chat: sean at evidence.dev
