Congrats on the launch! This is such an interesting project, as it could bridge the gap between analysis in the business world and engineering. Our organization has been making use of Streamlit extensively, but small changes require involvement of someone on the software side. This potentially makes a possible for anyone to do fairly complicated analyses and produced meaningful dashboards once groundwork has been laid.

Honestly, I’d love to start trialing this as our dashboard creation to the platform today.

On the downside, after setting up an account and creating a couple notebooks, my experience has been unusable slow. While this is likely growing pains as there’s no cost as a user for compute resources, it’s also a nonstarter for us to actually use as an organization. What’s the roadmap to make this more usable?

Lastly, adopting a new platform like this without a data export or local deployment option gives me pause. What can I expect for the longevity of what we create - pieces that become central to business decisions? This is especially true considering how much upfront training will inevitably go into getting started.
