       Show HN: Mineo.app - Better Python Notebooks
        
       Hello everyone,  I would like to introduce our startup to HN:
       Mineo.app. Mineo.app is a production-ready SaaS Python notebook
       that provides a complete environment for building your data
       applications: Dashboards, Reports, and Data Pipelines based on
       Python notebooks.  Key features:  * Superpowered jupyter-compatible
       Python notebooks with extra goodies like: version control,
       commenting support, custom docker images, etc... enhanced with no
       code components that allow to create beautiful dashboards and
       reports.  * Data Pipelines: Ability to schedule and run one or more
       notebooks.  * Integrated file system to manage your files and
       projects with detailed permissions and groups.  We have a freemium
       licensing model, so you can start using Mineo just by registering
       with your Github/Google/Microsoft account for free without a credit
       card. And it's free for educational purposes ;-)  Diego.

       | Crafting workflows out of notebooks is a really bad idea; an
       | anti-pattern. If you want to go down the road of "workflows for
       | data scientists" look at https://featurebyte.com/
       | 
       | Your messaging indicates you also want to appeal to business
       | intelligence users, with their data exploration needs. In this
       | space I give the crown to https://hex.tech/ How are you going to
       | be different or better?
       | 
       | Also, you should fix your showcase so prospective users don't
       | have to log in. I'll just nope out of your site.
       | 
       | Have you considered going open core? That would make me look more
       | favorably at your product given your lack of indisputable
       | product- and technical superiority.
       | 
       | And last but not least, I wish you success!

         | Thanks for taking the time to evaluate the platform.
         | 
         | Regarding hex tech, we are more focused on the BI side of the
         | business, providing an integrated platform for deploying and
         | publishing data applications based on notebooks and low-code
         | components, rather than building another real-time notebook
         | collaboration platform or a graph-based notebook like einblick
         | or hex tech. We believe they represent a great opportunity to
         | bridge the gap between data science notebooks and what final
         | users expect: Dashboards and reports.
         | 
         | As for releasing the platform as an open core, we've had
         | internal discussions about this since the beginning of the
         | project, and it's something we're seriously considering.
         | 
         | Accessing the showcase without registering is something we
         | definitely need to change, although it's free to register and
         | all you need is a Google/Microsoft/Github account.
         | 
         | Thanks for the feedback, esafak!

           | then the questionaire started and I lost interest. I would
           | recommend making the initial exploration as friction-less as
           | possible.

       | Deepnote, Google Colab... but not Jupyter Notebook

         | Our goal is not to replace Jupyter Notebook, it's a software
         | that does what it claims to do in an excellent way. We are big
         | fans of it.
         | 
         | Our goal is to provide a platform to deploy and scale your
         | notebooks and turn them into data applications that solve the
         | real problems that occur in production environments, like
         | access control, collaboration, version control, and many other
         | things that are required to turn a notebook you're running in
         | your computer into a product.
