Show HN: Live programming tool for business apps based on Observable runtime
- d--b 6y agoHi HN, author here. I built a tool to create smallish business apps/reports/dashboards in javascript. The tool is based on the Observable notebooks runtime (www.observablehq.com), meaning it's a live JS programming environment. The main difference between this and Observable are: - I organize cells on a 2D grid, with multiple tabs - much like a spreadsheet that business people are more familiar with. - This tool runs as an electron app, so you can access local files and make non-CORS http calls, which is the biggest pain in the butt when working with Observable. - This tool ultimately is meant to be "batteries-included", meaning that I hope to provide more complex charts/pivot tables and all sorts of widgets to make business people's lives easier. This is a very early version (they told me to launch early), so it's still very very crude, however I already use it myself for a variety of tasks. Any comment / suggestion / money? / job? welcome.
