Re: Show HN: Dtab – Spreadsheet for Data Science
#52I 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 sooo…
if you're looking for something like an iPython notebook, check out tonicdev.com

#53I'd love to see Jupyter (IPython Notebooks) capable of this kind of thing. It'd be awesome to be able to select a column of a Pandas DataFrame and apply a function to it.
Well capable? Yes Pandas can do that but I think what you are talking about is you want a GUI tool? Everything about Pandas, IPython(Now Jupyter) and R (And the other data languages) are 100% about performing functions.
Yeah, I mean more as a GUI enhancement. It might be outside the scope of Jupyter, but I think it'd be neat to be able to treat DataFrames like a spreadsheet.
Personally, I'm comfortable writing Python, but I bet you'd see more adoption for non-programmer academics who still need to work with data.

I doubt we will ever see the abandonment of spreadsheets LIKE WE SHOULD.
Look at Open Refine you might really like it.

if i understand you correctly - you can - like this:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame() ...loads data...
def modify_column(x): """ modify x"""" return modified_x
df['column_name'].apply(lambda x: modify_column(x))

#56When i log in and view source I get back a little bit of json only
{"_id":"560ee464ba6b14a61c74de66","name":"Untitled","data":null,"ownerId":"560ee461ba6b14a61c74de65","javascript":"","__v":0,"opened":"2015-10-02T20:09:09.119Z","modified":"2015-10-02T20:09:08.569Z","created":"2015-10-02T20:09:08.569Z","externalLibraries":[]}
how are you doing that ?

#57The "About", "Documentation" etc. links at the bottom (footer) don't work for me unfortunately; is it just me, or are they so for others too?

Try another refresh. What you're seeing is the sheet data only.

Sorry, those pages are not there yet. We're working to put in the those pages. We got excited and decided to show the meat first. We'll have done ready soon. If you'd like to contact us, go ahead and shoot us an email contact at dtab dot io

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.
