Hosting Jupyter Notebooks on GitHub Pages

Why?

I wanted to work more with Jupyter Notebooks, both to give myself experience and also demonstrate my experience on a public webpage. I especially wanted a website for this portfolio with custom styling, which would appear better for viewing than a PDF, especially on mobile devices. This necessarily led to the need for a static site building system which could convert jupyter notebooks into custom styled html webpages and also provide a front page to access these notebooks. Currently, as I haven't found such a system on PyPi that met my needs, I've built my own system that I've called Callystio (a sort of morph of the name Callisto, the largest moon of Jupiter). It was of course written in Python, so it can take advantage of tools like nbconvert that already exist for converting Jupyter Notebooks.
