This looks great, and I'm always eager for competition for Google sheets and friends. Supporting python directly makes it seem great for a massive variety of use cases, and python is incredibly accessible.

Connecting this up to databases seems like it would provide a great deal more value - excited to see that come to fruition.

Additionally, from the demo video, I have to say the performance is impressive. I haven't seen a similar product yet from that respect - curious if this is due to my ignorance or your ingenuity.

At any rate, congratulations!

What are some of the useful things you've used it for recently?

We do many of our company operations dashboards in Quadratic.

Directly using SQL would make this even easier.

We are also working on support for popular Python charting libraries like MatPlotLib and Plotly!

Any thoughts on creating a python API to allow data input/output to the locally run instance?
