   Thanks, this makes a lot of sense. I was coming from the angle of authoring expressivity, which would put Juicebox as a subset of them. But indeed, Tableau/PowerBI can be hard to get started and I can see the value of Juicebox in that

   I think the overview video should appear on the landing page. A GIF showcasing color changing capability is less impressive. Also, I'm not saying you should replicate Tableau or PowerBI. I'm saying they can do pretty much what you

   The landing page provides very little information to be honest. I found the examples in the blog writings to be more informative and illustrate the workflow better: https://www.juiceanalytics.com/writing I also wonder to wh

   I use IDE mainly for code editing and exploration (e.g. jump from usage to definition), for which I can't see how shell is easier. Modern IDEs have shell built-in so when I finish coding, I can just open up a terminal inside IDE to run

   The point of IDE is that there is almost 0 configuration. You get everything by just clicking "install". Y you can configure vim or emacs to be as expressive as IntelliJ. But the time it takes is much larger than 0. And when you s

   Your example sounded like results produced with editors that do not understand the underlying language. A proper IDE would not prompt you with closeDataSteam if it's not a member function of the object to which you want to close the da

   > "parse through GB of logs spread across a cluster" Why would you do that with IDE? The OP is comparing IDE v.s. shell in terms of "exploring" and "editing" the code. In that case IDE is a powerful nail gu

   Gotcha! That's really useful. But yeah, the default looks of the underlined title (plus the trailing "open in browser" icon) make it really look like clicking would open the browser so I didn't bother clicking on it. It&

    I like the idea of in-IDE search to avoid context switch. However, I can only see the top-voted answer and can't even see what the question was. So I had to click on the link and open the browser anyways. Is it possible to add more con

    Wonder to what extent that solves the problem. Quite often your code reviewer's interest/world view aligns with yours: "Right we need to ship this feature asap so let's worry about tests later" or "More commits

    Thanks for the thoughts. Graphistry looks really slick and interesting. On thing I'm curious about: how do you compare Graphistry with OmniSci and similar GPU-based solutions? You seem to focus on a niche - graph visualizations. That&#

    I mean this is my question as well: how are they making money? As of right now Observable seems like a mix of use cases like Medium-like explanation articles, vis debugging/authoring and interactive journalism that don't seem to g

    You can install npm libraries. You can connect to DBMS servers (not sure about arbitrary web servers). I believe they offer iframes to facilitate embedding but not frontend components. Interactive vis is not very well integrated with the fr

    Tableau offers templated visualizations. You generally do not need to program to create stuff. Observable is a notebook environment where you can write JS (mostly) to create and tweak highly customized visualizations. It's similar to

    Thanks for the feedback! 1. In the original comment there is a link to a demo created by Kyrix: http://wildfire.kyrixdemo.live/ Are you looking for a different type of demo? 2. Honest answer: we are very understaffed acad

    We are building a data vis tool ( https://github.com/tracyhenry/kyrix ) to solve this exact problem many web vis tools have. The idea is not surprising: using database indexes and a backend to send the frontend necessary

    Nice work! I wonder how much effort did it take to get the the correct web layout and css styles? With React it seems like the logic should be simpler to implement (assuming there isn't much change to WinAmp and JSPaint).
