Spotlight – The data quality platform for developers

Hey HN, Data quality matters more than ever. Our world increasingly relies on AI and proprietary datasets to fine-tune models. But as many of us know, garbage in often results in garbage out. Bad data can cost millions, especially when it informs important decisions like public health policy or interest rate hedging. Today’s data engineers need a flexible, secure, and performant data quality toolkit designed for the modern workflow. But current solutions were built a decade ago and don't support big data technologies, such as Spark. This is why we're building Spotlight - the data quality…

Spotlight – The data quality platform for developers launched on May 3, 2023 with 7 votes, #1,883 of 4,910 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.

  • Data Engineering Book – An open source, community-driven guideFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲251

    Hi HN! I'm currently a Master's student at USTC (University of Science and Technology of China). I've been diving deep into Data Engineering, especially in the context of Large Language Models (LLMs). The Problem: I found that learning resources for modern data engineering are often fragmented and scattered across hundreds of medium articles or disjointed tutorials. It's hard to piece everything together into a coherent system. The Solution: I decided to open-source my learning notes and build them into a structured book. My goal is to help developers fast-track their learning curve. Key…

    Hi HN! This is a little site I put together while learning the Elm language as part of a hackathon at my work, I thought you might enjoy it. Be sure to click the `(source)` buttons next to the graphs: you can edit them interactively & write your own queries against the entire data set. The syntax isn't well documented yet, but you can probably get the general idea pretty quickly based on the examples there. If you like it, have questions, etc. let me know! If folks think this is cool, maybe I can get it turned into a legit project. :)

    Renumics Spotlight – Multimodal exploration tool for your datasets2023 · renumics.com · ▲6

    Hey HN! We just released the open-source version of Renumics Spotlight, a data exploration and analysis tool for multimodal datasets. Spotlight integrates seamlessly with pandas and supports rich data types like images, videos, and meshes. You can load anything that fits in a DataFrame and view it through a customizable GUI featuring multiple interactive widgets: a data table, similarity map, histograms, scatter plots, and more. In the past, we have used Spotlight for exploratory data analysis and tackling various model and data-related problems in our machine learning projects. What are…

  • Interactively explore your Hugging Face dataset with one line of code2023 · huggingface.co · ▲7

    Hey HN, when building ML systems for industrial AI, we have learned that data inspection is critical during the ML development process. We are also big fans of the Hugging Face ecosystem. That is why we built an integration to our data exploration tool Spotlight that allows you to interactively explore Hugging Face datasets with one line of code. Spotlight lets you leverage model results such as predictions and embeddings to gain a deeper understanding in data segments and model failure modes. Currently, many many NLP, CV, Audio and multimodal datasets are supported both locally and on the…
