I've found that most of the queries that journalists are trying to run are pretty basic, mostly filtering and histograms. Setting up a virtualenv, dependencies, etc can be tough. And RTFM isn't sufficient for someone getting started. I was surprised that nothing existed for this, so I built it.

It has the basics of a Jupyter notebook - filter, sum, average, plot. So far it's attracted a pretty interesting audience including journalists, but also lawyers and consultants.
