Noteable.io is shutting down

In a way I understand why, however I still am always perplexed when a &quot;we are kaput&quot; announcement drowns the message in praise for all the amazing super awesome they have done whilst not including a <i>single</i> character as to why, uh, perhaps the entire company&#x2F;project&#x2F;venture is ceasing.<p>To me, it only communicates that the issues were embarrassing, inconvenient, or otherwise do not shine a good light.<p>Am I reading too much into this, or does this kind of pithy announcement usually hide skeletons? Genuinely curious here.

Three weeks notice with a deadline right after the New Year holidays..<p>Ouch, that&#x27;s not a landing it&#x27;s a crash.

I think companies in this &quot;data analytics platform but with LLM integration&quot; space are going to struggle in the next few years. The pain points of analytics are completely different than traditional software engineering, and things that LLMs help the most with (writing boilerplate code, bouncing between different frameworks, handling tests and docs) aren&#x27;t serious issues in analytics work. I use copilot religiously for webdev work but find it completely useless for analytics.

1st May or 5th Jan?

I thought it was this (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;noteable.edina.ac.uk&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;noteable.edina.ac.uk&#x2F;</a>) Noteable for a minute. They two similar services in a similar space with a similar name.

Effective immediately is surprising. Why such a sudden shutdown?

This is unfortunate. I find it interesting, there did not seem to enough revenue to shink business to ride through the tough market riding on existing revenue only...<p>This is why I love SaaS based of Open Source projects a lot - even if things do not work out and company has to shut down, customers may have more options.

(Ed: founding team probably wants to quickly pivot to something else, not take the time to for a sale)

Brutal news, the Graphistry team would point to Noteable internally as an example of good execution on notebooks-as-a-service<p>For folks impacted, we&#x27;ve been pursuing a similar-but-different product &amp; technology vision for making data analysis easier, and may have relevant openings for specific staff:<p>* Graphistry side - visual graph AI: connecting GPUs in the cloud to GPUs in the browser, automating data science for tricky data, ... . We helped make Apache Arrow a thing by bringing it to the web for most new visual analytic frameworks, helped start the GPU data frame movement (led to Nvidia RAPIDS), and are on the next generation of technologies here (GNNs, another 100X in viz scale, ...) and use cases (global supply chains, cybersecurity, finance, misinfo, fraud ...) . Biggest opening in WebGL&#x2F;infoviz, and then in AI &#x2F; security &#x2F; federal solutions.<p>* New - Louie.AI conversational analytics platform: Flipping the data analysis default from Python&#x2F;SQL&#x2F;etc in today&#x27;s notebooks =&gt; natural language for the default case . Basically making it so anyone can use all the cool stuff above, with early customers again in supply chain, fraud, cyber, gov disaster management, etc. Openings on core team, GIS, AI solutions, marketing, etc, mix of part-time &amp; full-time<p>More info @ <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.graphistry.com&#x2F;careers" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.graphistry.com&#x2F;careers</a> , and easiest is to just chat

Must be hard to be in such a position.

I&#x27;ve been using Jupyter to teach Python and Pandas to a lot of companies over the years, and Noteable made it so much nicer and easier. I&#x27;m very sad to see them shutting down, but I have to assume they would have kept going if they could.

Cool. How about you open source the application? Let the community take over if they want to.

Would the project financially make sense for an indie developer or developers to continue building?

What comes to my mind is this rhetorical question:<p>How a service with such a wonderful home page suddenly die?

Bummer! Shame I just heard about it today. It looked decent; I might have used it.

a Series-A company failing is not news let alone noteable...

But... they have no-code AND AI! And like 5 awards from... someone... right on their front page! Maybe they needed to add more bullshit.
