Show HN: Dtab – Spreadsheet for Data Science

I like!

One thing that I am hoping for however is some kind of notebook-like interface for doing small, ad-hoc data analysis projects. This looks fairly close to that.

Mathematica pioneered "the computational notebook" concept, and now we have similar stuff with R/Rstudio, IPython/Jupyter, matlab, and jmp. Those are all really nice and powerful, but they're somewhat large in scope and very ambitious.

It would be soooo cool to be able to just make notebooks that contain spreadsheets, related manipulation and analysis code and also text that can render to well-formatted html/pdf documents with really nice tables.

This tool looks like it can get there... if it can develop the ability to render documents sort of like Knitr for R.

Have you seen AirFlow before? I hooked a data scientist friend up with it dockerized, and he raves about it: http://nerds.airbnb.com/airflow/

Thanks, Google (first result for "docker airflow"):

I have been really curious about getting first-class interactive spreadsheet functionality in Jupyter (possibly by building a widget). I think it would be the ideal analysis platform.

Org mode[1] has some spreadsheet functionality which works fine as long as you don't use very large tables. Otherwise it gets a bit too slow.

You can also use those spreadsheets as input for pieces of code so you perform some analysis on their data.
