Products that do what Kyso – blog your data-science does
Hi HN, We're the founders of Kyso (https://kyso.io), we want to make it really easy for data-scientists to be able to blog and share their work. Think of it like medium for data-science. For readers you can discover and nerd out on data stories. For data-scientist you can make a portfolio of charts, Jupyter notebooks and R notebooks. We support javascript plots - Bokeh and Plotly work, and you can integrate with Github. For teams, we offer a private area, which works similar to Airbnb's knowledge-repo, where the data-scientists in a company can post their analysis for the entire…

Hi HN, We're the founders of https://kyso.io We want to make it really easy to share data-science within teams, and we've started with Jupyter notebooks. We render the notebooks really nicely, so you can embed interactive visualisations like Bokeh, and Plotly plots. Another nice thing is we allow you to hide the code for non-technical readers, so you basically get a beautiful data blog. Look at https://kyso.io/laura/ for some examples. We really want to hear your feedback, let us know what you think!

Hi HN, Over the past 6 months I've been working on a technical book focused on helping aspiring data scientists to get hands-on experience with cloud computing environments using the Python ecosystem. The book is targeted at readers already familiar with libraries such as Pandas and scikit-learn that are looking to build out a portfolio of applied projects. To author the book, I used the Leanpub platform to provide drafts of the text as I completed each chapter. To typeset the book, I used the R bookdown package by Yihui Xie to translate my markdown into a PDF format. I also used Google docs…

Dear HN, I am Riwaj, the cofounder of dstack.ai (https://github.com/dstackai). A few months ago, we built an online service that allows users to publish data visualizations from Python or R. The idea was to build a tool that did not require additional programming or front-end development for publishing data visualizations. Such a code can be invoked from either Jupyter notebook, RMarkdown, Python, or R scripts. Once the data is pushed, it can be accessed via a browser. Open-sourcing dstack: During our customer discovery phase, we realized that dstack.ai should integrate a lot…

Hi there Hacker News, I've started a side project http://datasourcehub.com which aims to be a platform for data scientists. The project is still in the idea phase so the UI/UX and functionality are all subject to change. Feel free to play around, below is a guest login, and make sure files are content type of 'text/csv'. All data is subject to deletion, it's just a sandbox right now! By reaching out to the Hacker News community I hope to reach expert data scientists and get their feedback. Below are some questions I'd like to answer and some proposed directions that this…

Hello Hacker News! We are Rick & Yannick from Orchest (https://www.orchest.io - https://github.com/orchest/orchest). We're building a visual pipeline tool for data scientists. The tool can be considered to be high-code because you write your own Python/R notebooks and scripts, but we manage the underlying infrastructure to make it 'just work™'. You can think of it as a simplified version of Kubeflow. We created Orchest to free data scientists from the tedious engineering related tasks of their job. Similar to how companies like Netflix, Uber and Booking.com…

Hi HN! I am an undergrad student trying to build interesting things with AI. Recently, I was looking for a dataset I could use for a new project. I realized that it is really frustrating to go through all the government websites (with terrible UX) just to find some usable dataset. I set out to build a GitHub for datasets, named DataHub. Right now, we have more than 1000 datasets from Montréal and New York City, with more cities coming soon (and possible government agencies). All of this is wrapped into a powerful search. It's a breeze to find a dataset to work on. I'd be interested to know…

Hello Hacker News! We're a team of YC founders (Meldium W13, Draft S11, TapEngage S11) launching something new (https://www.getcensus.com). How many times has your business team asked you to generate yet another CSV file, write a ”quick report” in SQL, or send some custom data to a terrible API (looking at you Marketo)? We’ve built a product that connects directly to your data warehouse and syncs into apps like Salesforce, Customer.io and even Google Sheets. In fact, your business teams won’t even need to rely on engineering to manage all these pipelines. The tech stack for…

Hello HN. We're happy to show to the world a platform that we've created to help our students get started with Data Science: https://notebooks.rmotr.com/ We know how hard it is to start working with Data Science tools: setting up local environment, installing dependencies, keeping projects organized, etc. RMOTR Notebooks has Jupyter Lab already preinstalled + the ability to upload datasets. Our platform is now open to everybody for free, and we are thinking about adding paid tiers in the future with better hardware, GPU support, pro features, etc. We've also worked on a…

Almost one year ago I asked HN if anybody is interested to make a Web app to make reading and finding scientific papers smarter [http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1664648]. No one did, at least no one did what "I" think is the best way to approach this problem. A a few month ago I decided to do it myself.<p>Meet JournalClub iPad app (absolutely free), http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/journalclub/id443819334? I have a recommendation engine in the pipeline that I would introduce in the next update (hopefully in a month or so). I really appreciate any comments, feedbacks.

Hi everyone, Anuj here, Dataherald CEO. There are a bunch of EXTERNAL data sources in the world that people use a lot -- think census data, Bureau of Labor Statistics (unemployment, inflation), but even proprietary data sources. I was tired of getting these into useable data pipelines every time I need need to use them. Dataherald simply creates data pipelines to hundreds of data sources and then lets you create auto-updating data viz -- all in under 60 seconds. The goal is to enable non-tech users to more easily use data, which has been a huge problem for me throughout my career. We…

One year ago, I downloaded the news.arc code and decided that I would teach myself programming by building a better aggregator. At that time, I had some rudimentary HTML knowledge, and little FORTRAN under my belt. I knew that I wanted an aggregator that could support a wide range of submissions, and one that could scale without losing quality for the user. Hubski is what I have to show for my time and effort. The easiest way to describe Hubski is to say that it uses a commenting system akin to HN or Reddit, but uses a sharing scheme like Twitter. You have a personal feed comprised of the…

My wife and I have blogged about every trip since our honeymoon 10 years ago. We took turns writing, but both of us had photos and videos on our phones, and every day they had to be sent back and forth and sorted into the entry. The blog ran on WordPress, and WordPress never got it: not the mobile editing experience, not the video support, not the gallery, and definitely not the together part. You are limited to one author per entry (but you get a bunch of plugins nobody maintains and constant bot attacks on your wp-admin), and every video had to go to YouTube because WordPress does not…

Hi! Recently I've launched - mybfio.io - platform for software reviews with social network aspect. Prehistory Many great system are already in place that allow people to search and rate software products, including the site I am publishing this post on. However I have always felt that those systems are not specifically centered around product/software development lifecycle (releases, real users feedback over a product entire lifetime, so on) and often too broad or not designed specifically for that type of work, which is ok. Why? As an opensource author I would like to have constant…

Hey Hacker News, Myself and another nomad have been working on this for a few years. It's a travel blog that aims to make it easier to write (and read) by limiting you to one photo and 350 characters per day. The first part was easy (making it work for us), the second part took a lot longer (adding all the polish to make it usable). Mostly it's a passion project borne out of lack of alternatives. If we were going to monetise it would probably be by adding a feature to turn posts (trots) into postcards, and make a small markup over a printing API like lob.com. Probably not a huge market, but…

Predictobot lets you build a predictive model without any programming. You upload a spreadsheet of data, specify the column you want to predict, and it automatically builds a predictive model for a regression or classification problem based on the other columns. You download a new spreadsheet, with the model right in the Excel formulas. That lets you make predictions going forward. Other services like this are really aiming at helping programmers to build models. I wanted to make something that a regular non-programmer could use, to get insight into their data. It is open for registration…

I posted this a few weeks ago and the server died under the traffic. Fixed that by adding an in-mem caching layer with Redis/valkey and added CloudFront caching for static content. Also upgraded the server. Also fixed the Firefox bugs, trying again. It's a research tool for US stocks. Financials for ~10k companies pulled from SEC filings. You can chart any metric across companies, filter news by ticker, ask questions in plain English and get a chart back. There's also SQL console against the whole database, which is the part I like to use together with the AI chat (generates an SQL…

Hey hacker news! I built Melchi, an open-source tool that handles Snowflake to DuckDB replication with proper CDC support. I'd love your feedback on the approach and potential use cases. *Why I built it:* When I worked at Redshift I saw two common scenarios that were painfully difficult to solve: Teams needed to query and join data from other organizations' Snowflake instances with their own data stored in different warehouse types, or they wanted to experiment with different warehouse technologies but the overhead of building and maintaining data pipelines was too high. With DuckDB's…

TLDR: I'm building an experimental open source/open data thing to collect good lecture recordings website: https://lectures.koljasam.com/ repo: github.com/koljapluemer/awesome-lectures Hi everyone, this submission is my attempt to contribute something to the question of how we will find, share and evaluate information in the future, in the face of the many problems that I think HN is well-aware of (slob, search engines returning SEO garbage or corporate stuff, spam, trust problems, big companies eating everything,...). I was specifically inspired by recent…
