My first product takes 6 monthes to monetize. On hind sight I could have shortened 6 monthes to 4 monthes. Because users donated money from monthes 3 to support me. I postponed monetization for fear of user churn. I would argue that it is p

As a data analyst before, I enjoyed ggplot a slot. It really is next level data visulization stuff. I tried to find something like ggplot in Python but failed to find one. Good to know that there is a python version of it.
