    hey hn — we’re hoshang & vishal, co-founders of airbook. it’s an ai-native workspace to build notebooks, dashboards, or even lightweight data apps — all from one place (https://www.airbook.io) we used to run ops and analytics at saas startups and constantly found ourselves juggling 10 tools just to get one thing done - exploration in a notebook, kpis in a dashboard, and re-usable scripts or apps hacked together elsewhere. it was slow, fragmented, and repetitive. with Airbook, you can connect to your database, warehouse, or even directly to saas tools if you don’t have an etl in…

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on.

This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

    Hi, founders! We’ve actually launched quite some time ago, but (semi)pivoted a few times along the way. Jet Admin is an app builder for creating internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, external portals, and so on without coding. You can connect to any backend, assemble a UI through the visual builder, and set up data binding, transformations, conditionals, etc. through the point-and-click interface. If you need to, you can create custom HTTP, SQL queries, make data transformations with JS, and embed custom UI components. We believe that product, data, operations teams should be able to…
