Show HN: Graph-based notebook for data scientists and researchers

For some reason I have added intercom.io on my NoScript in the past. I DuckDuckGo-ed it and it returns: "Intercom is a priceless tool that helps us drive Sales and Support through every step of the funnel."

I now will add sentry.io in my AdBlock+ list.

I am getting a login in screen with nothing else. I value my privacy over your service. But I sincerely wish you the best on your endeavors.

The live demo is a really neat detail, but it can be overwhelming for an uninitiated user.

I first didn't even notice it was a live demo until my mouse was over it and I wanted to scroll down and instead the graph in the demo zoomed out.

Some feedback:

- Just today on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18410628

- I would not do a live demo but instead illustrate using pictures and perhaps a little intro video.

- It's not made clear enough what the core differentiators of the product are vs. existing process tools, such as Trello or Asana. In fact I currently don't see the benefits of a graph-based approach over other tools. Doesn't mean that there aren't any, just that they aren't made clear.

- In the live demo: the box being displayed when I hover over a tree node is almost always (partly) off screen.

It's not you, it's Intercom and Sentry that they don't trust.

Why do I need to allow your cookie just to view your landing page?

The page contains a live demo, that needs a cookie.

But you can't tell that without allowing the cookie - you just get a login prompt and 'not allowed to view this resource'.

Intercom is just a chat widget (and backend system) for customer support / sales, and Sentry is a kind of hosted error log. You can read both of their privacy policies.

https://sentry.io/terms/

Also if you're going to be a privacy zealot you might as well switch to uBlock Origin over Adblock+.

Thank you for your feedback! The main advantages of the graph are: 1. you can get an easier overview of complex processes and how they connect. 2. The tracked parameters are inherited. So if you are tracking parameters that don't change to the next iteration, you will still have them stored in the process. It also remembers how they connect, so if you change a name upstream it will cascade down. 3. You can plot the leaves according to their parameters. If you click on the plotting button in the top left and choose model_name vs. mae for example, you can compare how different models performed and still see how their iterations connect.
