Not really, I have seen the idea a few time, No one have put it in place. 
We also probably need someone to take care of it, if there are abuses.

This might require a “persistence” on nbviewer, but right now nbviewer is stateless, 
though, if you like to send PR and have ideas...

I use (sometimes) nikola, which can take a bunch on ipynb and make a blog from it on ghpages. 
it (should) auto build on travis-ci when I push my ipynb repo. 

And this solve one of the problem above about caching, as the rebuilt is triggered on Push and there is no need to scrape.
