This is interesting, congrats! I'd really like to try it on my own, without booking a demo. Is it possible somehow ? Thank you!

#102Looks cool. I have so many internal scripts that need a face/UI.

yes, that’s us. glad to see you remember our previous iteration :) internal app builder is certainly a challenging market to break into, but we believe we have something interesting to offer and are quite optimistic about our approach. were you a customer of the previous dropbase version (csv to database)? thanks again for your interest, it is always appreciated!
I was hoping you were the hardcore techno label. What a pivot!

Pretty darn critical! I built a service a few years ago to scrape natural gas volumes from different refineries and my client wanted that data plotted over time. Another project collected and displayed wellhead pressure data. Oh yeah, maps are also super important, and being able to overlay different statistics and or graphics over them.
thank you for sharing! i think we'll get there eventually and add components beyond tables, such as charts and maps. current focus is to get the table+sidebar experience right first. the thing that differentiates us from dashboarding tools is that with us an end user can trigger a task that gets or acts on data (as opposed to rearrangement of existing data on ui). could you elaborate on cron jobs being a pain point?…
Sure, I've used cron jobs to collect data, send reports, and check if any users should receive push notifications or alert emails.
The pain point is that celery can be a little tricky to configure when you're working with docker-compose. It works, but if I had to re-figure everything out again, it would take me a while.

Hi - sorry for the random note - but would you mind chatting about this?

#107Chainlit is my new favorite Python webapp framework, it’s especially geared toward UI for LLM chat apps. (It has nothing to do with LangChain fortunately, though it does support it and the name probably is inspired by it). There are unique challenges in making a decent looking chat app. State management is one such. Streamlit’s approach is to rerun the script on every action, which means your code needs to be aware o…
