Hi HN! We’re excited to share marimo, an open-source reactive notebook for Python [1]. marimo aims to solve well-known problems with traditional notebooks [2]: marimo notebooks are reproducible (no hidden state), git-friendly (stored as Python files), executable as Python scripts, and deployable as web apps. GitHub repo: https://github.com/marimo-team/marimo In marimo, a notebook’s code, outputs, and program state are always consistent. Run a cell and marimo reacts by automatically running the cells that reference its declared variables. Delete a cell and marimo scrubs…

Hi HN! Last year, we shared marimo [1], an open-source reactive notebook for Python with support for execution through WebAssembly [2]. We wanted to share something new: you can now run marimo and Jupyter notebooks directly from GitHub in a Wasm-powered, codespace-like environment. What makes this powerful is that we mount the GitHub repository's contents as a filesystem in the notebook, making it really easy to share notebooks with data. All you need to do is prepend 'marimo.app' to any Python notebook on GitHub. Some examples: - Jupyter Notebook:…

Creating data visualizations with AI nowadays often means chat, chat and more chats...and writing long prompts can be annoying while they are also not the most effective way to describe your visualization designs. Data Formulator blends UI interaction with natural language so that you can create visualizations with AI much more effectively! You can: * create rich visualizations beyond initial datasets, where AI helps transforming and visualizing data along the way * iterate your designs and dive deeper using data threads, a new way to manage your conversation with AI. Here is a demo video:…

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…

I know it sounds strange, and the readme says this is a research tool. But I find it really feels like Codex. So I ran it through some routine tasks, and it performed well in my use cases, coding, deep writing, and so on. It also supports Windows, Codex, and Linux, with downloadable release packages that ran just fine on my Debian system.

Hey HN, I'm Adithya, a 20-year-old dev from India. I have been working with GenAI for the past year, and I've found it really painful to deal with the many different forms of data out there and get the best representation of it for my AI applications. That's why I built OmniParse—an open-source platform designed to handle any unstructured data and transform it into optimized, structured representations. Key Features: - Completely local processing—no external APIs - Supports ~20 file types - Converts documents, multimedia, and web pages to high-quality structured markdown - Table extraction,…

Hi HN! Last month, we shared marimo [1][2], an open-source reactive notebook for Python. For those who missed it, marimo notebooks are reproducible, stored as Python files, executable as Python scripts, and deployable as web apps. It’s now possible to run marimo notebooks entirely in the browser via WebAssembly (WASM). - A marimo tutorial as a WASM notebook: https://marimo.app/l/c7h6pz - Training a neural network with Karpathy’s micrograd: https://marimo.app/l/xpd4te - Visualizing attractors, as a read-only app:…
