Great concept. It seems like the graph view is begging to convey more information. At the very least it seems appropriate for the nodes to have an icon based on what kind of data they contain, for instance, a paperclip or document for an attached paper, a histogram for univariate data, a regression plot for bivariate, etc.

Noted, thank you for your feedback!

If anybody is curious, CTO of amie here, we run on elm and a mix of Haskell and go, our db of choice is of course postgres !

Could you give more info on how this is better (or when this is better) than an ordinary notebook like evernote. I read through the homepage and found this:

> which lets you directly model your workflow and document your reasoning without the mental overhead of a folder structure.

but honestly i still don't understand what the main value prop is.

thanks.

Of course, thank you for asking. An ordinary notebook only lets you order notes linearly. As soon as you try out different paths and switch back and forth between them, for example, different models, you can lose the overview. With the graph, for any result, you can always go back an understand exactly where it came from. We make this extra easy by letting you plot the notes according to the parameters they are tagged with. You can try it in the live demo by clicking on the graph button on the top left and select "model_name" and "mae" to compare how the models performed. Besides this (compared to Evernote or a paper notebook), we also have a python client that lets you integrate documentation directly into taking data from equipment or data science.

Not GP, but this is exactly the reply that I was hoping to hear. The GDPR has done more for human rights for the masses than any other initiative in the past 70 years.

...Black people couldn't vote in the US 70 years ago.

And also forced many websites to open with a popup 'Do you want to accept cookies?'. To the uninformed, could be a very mysterious message.

Cookie warnings are not GDPR but previous legislation.

Black people have been guaranteed equal voting rights in theory since the 15th amendment was ratified in 1870, which was 148 years ago. (And free black citizens existed and could vote in parts of the USA before that.)

Black people since then have faced practical barriers to equal voting in many parts of the country, continuing to the present day.
