Hi HN! I'm here with my co-founders (narush + jacobdi) to show you Mito (https://trymito.io/ https://trymito.io/) — a point-and-click data science Jupyter Lab extension that automatically turns your analysis into Python.
We started building Mito 6 months ago after finishing up undergrad engineering + business school (aka Excel School). We became comfortable doing data analysis in visual environments, but were held back by Excel's 1M row limit + the inability to create repeatable processes. Doing analyses in Python was wayyy more powerful, but also required tons of trips to Stack Overflow + pandas documentation.
After a few months of building, pivoting (our vision) + lots of refactoring, Mito now supports writing spreadsheet formulas, pivoting (dataframes), merging, saving + applying macros, and the tiniest bit of graphing. And it generates the equivalent pandas code in real time for all of it :)
You can download Mito by following our always-WIP documentation [0]. We'd love to hear your first impressions of the tool (especially if you download it) + your experiences in/building for the data science/analytics community.
