I wonder if you've come across Monarch?

https://www.datawatch.com/in-action/monarch-desktop/

It's a well-known commercial package that's been around for ages and when I saw it they seem to have some good ideas around UI for data prep (e.g. like seeing your dataframe at every stage, reordering operations and flipping back and forth) that could further inspire your GUI.

It took me a while to figure out that Pandas is a Python Data Analysis Library [0].

Really like the idea and have been bouncing a similar idea in my head for a while.

I think there's great value in making sure the product is a bit more intuitive to unlock some interesting markets, beyond data science.

No, I didn't know. Not a fucking mention of it. Would have been nice to have that on the page somewhere.

I think this is a very interesting direction for time consuming data prep work. Love the idea of combining GUI elements for speed and code for flexibility.

Nice work guys. Especially now that more and more citizen - I don’t like that phrase, you know what I mean, though - data scientist start working with data, such libs are super helpful.

A GUI for viewing dataframes is not too bad an addition, though pandas is a very scope-creepy project. Soon it will be able to send email.
