Mito is open source, but using Pro features does actually require a Pro or enterprise license. You can check out this callout in the license [1], as well as the restrictions on Mito Pro features here [2]. We're in the process of fixing

Good points! I also think that this is an area that Mito could do better in. While we do provide pretty cool summary stats [1] and graphing capabilities [2], there isn't a great view for the summary stats of the entire dataframe. It&#x

Yeah, we've thought a bit about a plugin API - for the reasons you say, I think it would be an awesome feature to open up to teams! Any tips on going about it? No need to share the secret sauce, unless you want :P To be totally honest,

Super fair, lol. We'll work on optimizing it - just a tiny team and lots of things on our plate rn. The main issue is our images / video, which I have tried compressing but can't do so while maintaining the quality. Any tips

This is on the roadmap! Would love to hear a bit more about how you would use this component... 1. Would you want the component to generate code? Or would it just be the editing of a dataframe that is useful to you? 2. What other components

Oh, sorry I wasn't clear! We totally expect that users will use Mito in notebooks on the cloud cloud, and we are in support of this usage! Ideally, we will continue to extend our support to these environments over time, as currently th

Hiya kite_and_code - thanks for the question + good to see you here :) Our understanding of our license is evolving - we're first time open source devs, and as I'm sure you know it can be a tricky process. That being said: we tota

Def check these all out! Lots of cool tools out there. For anyone who's tried a bunch of these... that's a great topic for a Medium post :)

To pull the curtains back a bit: we probably spend about 85% of our product and development time on open source code. Just this week, we developed copy and paste, nan value filling, and spilling a text column on a delimiter - all of these a

Hey everyone. Mito cofounder here. Thanks to whoever posted this - was a real surprise to find it here :-) Mito (pronounced my-toe) was born out of our personal experience with spreadsheets, and a previous (failed) spreadsheet version contr

Hiya! I'm a cofounder of Mito [1] - where a spreadsheet extension to Jupyter Notebooks / Lab. Our most used feature is our exploratory graphing and Excel-like pivot tables - which seems super relevant. Totally no pressure (althoug

My (novice) highest-level summary of the argument in this paper: firms emerge as a result of transaction costs between people. By being in a firm together, people build shared structures, and as a result can reduce these transaction costs.

Also a dev on Mito. Would love to hear if anyone has strong opinions on best practices for UI documentation! Thanks a ton :-)

I'm a cofounder of a small (and growing :-)) startup called Mito [1]. We don't do A/B testing currently, for two main reasons: 1. We're a locally installable product with opt-in updates. 2. We don't get enough new u

Gotcha. Pretty much the template language is close enough to the destination language that you don’t need an AST for the template language at all. That makes sense! Seems like a legit simplification to take advantage of. Do you have any pla

Super cool. Bidirectional code generation is something I've spent a bit of time thinking about: I've been building a spreadsheet that generates Python code when you edit it [1], but some of our users also want the ability to edit

Yeah that’s fair feedback. Our Pro features are a WIP currently, so this might evolve in the future. It was important to us that there is a way to be totally telemetry-less if users prioritize that - vs most other cloud based sass data scie

Mito isn’t just a spreadsheet that works with Python, but a spreadsheet that allows you to generate Python code when you edit! If your just looking to work with spreadsheets with Python, I’d also reccomend checking out XLWings - I haven’t u

The main benefit (to our users) of being in Jupyter is that we don’t have to force them to switch up their whole workflow. If they want to layer on a spreadsheet, bring an extension mak it easy to do this. We don’t want to lock people into

This is a cool article. I like the narrative of "Change to a life where you are in control of your direction." I am probably the most privacy conscious person of my friends (not that I do a particularly good job of it), so I spent

Spreadsheets are the best way to represent data, but there is a very long-tail of tasks one might to perform with their data. Requiring all of them to be built into a visual UI pretty much insists you end up with Excel - what feels like 1 b

The question of "what is a better visual data model than VisiCalc" is just one of the questions we can ask ourselves about how to create Excel 2.0. In the authors original post, they point out that Notion and Coda answer this ques

Can you give a little color on where the difficulties lie? Is it an efficiency question, or is determining "which changes" hard in the first place?
