The Project

The aim is test potential solutions for better supporting users who use Jupyter for exploratory data-analysis.

There’s some more info in these slides. …

in this repo (a little out of date)

and in these videos & prototypes (which discourse won’t let me embed…)

I cannot wait for this to get built (as a user). These are all great ideas and all should see the light of day. I almost don’t want to write another notebook until I can stably use the directed graph approach.
