I know "dataflow" is kind of a generic name, but the authors might want to consider that there is already a 7 year old Google Cloud product for running data pip

I know "dataflow" is kind of a generic name, but the authors might want to consider that there is already a 7 year old Google Cloud product for running data pipelines called Dataflow.

Came here to post the same comment. Exactly right. There are lots of projects that use the term "dataflow". To add to this, the name of this product is confusing given the context and usecase shown. I assume "dataflow" to the author means the ability to watch data being rendered on a page? To "big data" folks (like myself), the term "dataflow" tends to represent the routing and processing of data streams along an information pipeline. Not anything to do with a visual representation of a dynamic notebook.

> I know "dataflow" is kind of a generic name Well that's a bummer. And here I thought I was being very unique :-)

They also named their whole platform "Observable", as in, extends java.util.Observable, and the equivalent in any other popular OO language. To disambiguate I normally call it "ObservableHQ", which is their domain name; I don't know what to do to disambiguate "Dataflow". "Asg017dataflow"? "Garcia Dataflow"? "Observable Dataflow"? "Issue 9 Dataflow"? Still, much more significant is the fact that it seems to be such terrific software that this is a discussion worth having, because it's going to be very influential.
