Hex: Collaborative Notebooks and Data Apps
- sails 6y agoI like the notion of a Data Workspace, and that you are supporting both SQL and Python. Very interesting.
- swordsmith8 6y agoAgreed, like the dual language support! So useful given the rise of "analytics engineers" and other data org multi-tool workers.
- maclockard 6y agoOh hey! I work here. Happy to answer any questions folks would have
- mrshu 6y agoJust out of curiosity, how does Hex compare to https://deepnote.com/ https://deepnote.com/?
- mrwnmonm 6y agoVery interesting. Why didn't this reach the homepage? I like how you managed to make a very good functional service for the first launch, not a half-baked one. How much time did you take to build this?
- mrwnmonm 6y agoLove the "Made with" section at the bottom :) Cool
- barry-mccardel 6y agoFounder here. No idea why it didn't reach homepage although it wasn't a big focus for us :) First line of code was November 2019! So ~14 months or so.
- mrwnmonm 6y agoImpressive. Do you mind sharing the technologies you are using? Let me think here for a moment: If I were to build a service like that, first thing to think about is the connectors, are there open source database connectors?, I guess maybe at this point there is a lot of them. But then you have a lot of other parts to do. The SQL cells (as you call them), how everything talks to one another, the charts, the tables, the comments. Well done, man. I have two more questions: did you have an experience working on something similar before? and what is the chart lib are you using? I completely understand if you don't like to share these info.
