Products that do what Modeleon – Python DSL that compiles to live Excel formulas does
Hi HN. Modeleon is an open-source Python DSL for financial models. You write models in Python with named variables and operator-overloaded arithmetic, and it compiles to a real .xlsx with live formulas — not values, but formulas like =B4*B5 that the CFO can audit in Excel. The architectural bet is "model is the source of truth, spreadsheet is one rendering." We have a Walker/Renderer split so the same model can target Excel today and other backends later. We've been building this for finance + Python developers (CFA candidates with Python skills, FP&A analysts who automate). It's…

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 fellow HNers, We just opened up Bitdeli for free public beta at https://bitdeli.com Bitdeli allows you to process real-time data with plain Python scripts and access the results over a friendly HTTP API. You can use it to create live visualizations and dashboards without having to worry about servers. See examples here: http://bl.ocks.org/2009621 and http://bl.ocks.org/1983818 We would love to hear your feedback and comments!

Hi there, I tried to build a CLI tool to edit and visualize Excel/CSV files directly in the terminal, I called it "dss". I did it for fun to tweak spreadsheet formulas without leaving my terminal or opening heavy GUI apps. It is an interactive editor of sheets with charts and formula engine diretly in TUI. The formula engine is handmaded but I'd like to improve it. I copied a lot from my previous Datacmd project and from Termdash repo. Hoping to receive some feedback.
