Show HN: Data Painter – A Different Way to Interact with Your Data

179 pointsby loa_observerover 2 years ago
Data Painter is RATH&#x27;s new feature to interact with your data. It helps you to specify complex visual patterns and find explanations and potential causals.<p>It allows you to do on-flight data labeling, cleaning or even create new features does not exited in original dataset. Everything can be done with a brush tool(painter), You can even play with your data with your fingers on mobile.<p>RATH is an open-source alternative to Tableau, but with more automations. Feedbacks and suggestions are appreciated.<p>RATH&#x27;s Github: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Kanaries&#x2F;Rath">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Kanaries&#x2F;Rath</a><p>RATH&#x27;s HomePage: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kanaries.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kanaries.net&#x2F;</a>

Interesting product. I first encountered this &quot;data painter&quot; paradigm in the 80&#x27;s in a product called DataDesk. That software was created by Cornell professor Paul Velleman. Paul was a student of John Tukey and credits his influence on the product.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;datadescription.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;datadescription.com&#x2F;</a>

I am hearing about this tool first time and the git repo examples look impressive.<p>Is this free and open-source in the sense that we can host it on our own infra with no license fees? Is there any guide or example for deploying this in a AWS environment with typical data sources like S3 data lake (CSV&#x2F;Parquet&#x2F;Delta) and Redshift?

I was really impressed that it seems to be doing everything locally in the browser, but I see once you start trying to do more complex visualizations it POSTs the dataset to the cloud. Still neat.

Nicely done!<p>Tangent: I am looking for a different &quot;data painter,&quot; i.e., a simple GUI where I can draw data points and have it generate a table or CSV file with them.

I think the &#x27;k6s&#x27; title is an unintentional misdirection
