#2Looks interesting but has anyone managed to find pricing anywhere?

Streamlit for Teams is in private beta, so prices are still negotiated case by case. When it is open to everyone in a few months, the prices will be on the website. And the goal is to make it so that it's affordable for even very small companies.

#4From a lot of bittersweet experiences, I tend to be very wary of “drastically simple” API products.
We often say APIs are forever - so it is so critical to build the right abstraction. When I saw the demo on their page, yes it’s magically (their words) simple, but it also smells strongly of an API that can start leaking as complexity rises.
Dave Cutler of NT fame used to say leaky abstractions are often worse than no abstractions, and early on, it’s often better to go with a lower-level API (for example, what Tensorflow did) because you can add a higher level one later (eg Keras) based on usage and reasonable defaults.
Heavy reliance on strings with logical meaning? Another strong smell.
Streamlit looks very accessible - which is amazing in this space, and I hope they do well - but my prediction is people will be importing “streamlit.v2” within two years.

You could argue that we've had the low-level API since JavaScript was added to the browser

#6Congrats! Been on my to-do to try Streamlit. What are companies mainly using it for?

#7Out of curiosity I saw what this product was about. It appears to be like a chatroom in the sense that its live but with an API or live application refresh where the programmer can write lines of code that immediately show app results. This is pretty cool but I don't know if its a real product other than live coding interviews or the most intense pressure cooker of your manager having you do the TPS reports right now. If coupled with GPT3, however, it might be perfect, as you could just speak what you want and then it can output python that then updates this.

#8Streamlit is awesome.
It's nicer than sending someone static results, and it isn't much more effort.
And vastly better than sending a notebook to someone unless you expect them to modify the notebook a lot.
And learning time to make Streamlit useful for a small internal apps is probably ~15 minutes for most people.

#10Been using Streamlit at work for over a year. It's great for quickly building internal apps where latency or styling is not a concern (though it is a lot prettier than notebooks).
