buckaroo VS freebies

I created buckaroo [1] as a better dataframe viewer for jupyter with built in summary stats. It's built to bring a better dataframe experience to people already using pandas/polars. All of it is extensible [2] so that you can customize stats and transformations to your workflow.

Great tables has done some really nice work on python/jupyter tables. It looks like they are almost building a "grammar of tables" similar to a grammar of graphics. More projects should write about their philosophy and aims like this.

I have built a different table library for jupyter called buckaroo. My approach has been different. Buckaroo aims to allow you to interactively cycle through different formats and post-processing functions to quickly glean important insights from a table while working interactively. I took the view that I type the same commands over and over to perform rudimentary exploratory data analysis, those commands and insights should be built into a table.

Great tables seems built so that you can manually format a table for presentation.

JLisp.

3. It was very easy to define new lowcode commands, and have the frontend add them to the palette. Each command defines two methods "transform" which manipulates the dataframe, and "transform_to_py" which takes the same arguments but emits python code.

Adoption of my library in general, and the low code UI specifically has been very limited. I'm in the middle of plumbing the lowcode support back in after a refactor of other parts.

I would like to build a whole ecosystem around JLisp and Buckaroo. Specifically I have some "auto-cleaning" functionality that emits JLisp cleaning and normalization commands, these commands can then be editted in the UI (delete, edit parameters). It's easier to emit JLisp than raw python syntax, it's also much easier to make a UI to manipulate it.

Do you have a repo to look at? What usecase did you have in mind when you were building it?

If I were evaluating a low-code backend builder I'd be interested in the examples, and tests. Hopefully the tests would double as examples. For a Workflow type low-code-builder I'd be most interested in the cron functionality.

I used Norvig’s lisp2.py to build a low code UI. I modified the interpreter to accept JSON flavored lisp, basically replace parens with brackets. The upside is that it was very very easy to make a react front end that manipulates JSON (JLisp). My thinking was, I need a serialization format for operations from the front end, and a way to interpret them. I could write my own language that no one has heard of, or use lisp, which few have used.

In my next role, I want a broad mandate to make a meaningful impact within an organization by developing products that address genuine business challenges, with a preference for data related problems.

Recently I built the data table for Jupyter/Pandas that I have wanted for over a decade. The open source Buckaroo (https://github.com/paddymul/buckaroo) data table combines a performant table, summary statistics, and a low code UI to expedite common data analysis tasks.

This morning I added a "Related Projects" [3] Section to the Buckaroo docs. If Buckaroo doesn't solve your problem, look at one of the other linked projects (like Mito).

I will list all my pain points with landing page builders, but not all those points might be applied to your service. 1- They are expensive, and their expensive subscription model drives me crazy. It is not a coffee service that you get your fresh coffee every week. This is a landing page builder, and I won't create a landing page every week! I have just 1-2 ideas to test and capture leads, and that is all. If it is a subscription model, it should be a reasonable price. I am not sure if most of them target the agencies, but many people like me just need a "landing page," nothing more or less. 2- Their templates suck. They are usually the same, repeating templates that do not fit your idea. Yes, you can modify them, but it is minimal. For example, Tilda provides a block for the "hero" section. You can choose between 20-30 hero layout options, but %90 of them are a text&button on a background image. I don't want it. I want a simple layout with a screenshot of my service (desktop or phone) at the right and my headline, sub, and call to action on the left. Just simple. No background image. But I can't do it/ They provide something called "Zero Block" which you can build a block you like from empty but challenging to use. You always need to use the same boring (so-called, proved working!) layouts and templates. Just an example, this is the new version for my landing page I've worked on for a while (https://imgur.com/a/mwqe9ci), and I have created it using a free template on the internet without using Tilda( which I pay hundreds for subscription). Pretty crazy, huh? 3- For example, there is a website which (https://uisual.com/) the creator shares free empty templates for different landing pages. They look very clean and straightforward, and to be honest; they serve better for my needs. 4- Those big players are expensive because they also have integrations and CRM types of functionality. 5- One huge missing point for me is, lacking A/B testing functionality on a landing page. Builders that provide A/B testing are extremely expensive (A/B testing frameworks and tools also expensive alone), But still, there is a missing vertical that addresses a simple landing page with A/B testing. It tests only the copy, colors, or layout without complex testing. 6- I am neither a copywriter nor a designer. Still, I have a couple of comments for your copy. Your headline is not ringing the bell in my mind. All builders claim that they are simple to use. Your sub is not supporting much either. In addition, your CAT can be more specific for your use case. I have created an alternative version of your landing page with a different copy. https://imgur.com/a/B6HWY52 Again, I am not a copywriter so it is just a suggestion. Let me know if you have any other questions that I can help with. Again, it is a great project, and I see that you have invested a lot of time. You just need to iterate on and talk to people from now on. When you find your unique selling point (maybe different types of templates for end-users like me), or a simple landing page with A/B testing or something else) you can pivot and revisit your solution. Good luck and keep us informed!
