Collaborative canvas examples

BradS2S · October 18, 2022, 2:15pm

I’m curious if anyone is familiar with Elixir projects that involve collaborative canvasing like einblick.ai or Lucidchart. It seems like maybe a statically typed language like Scala might be better for doing the math but I like the fact that you can use erlang to run python which would be interesting in the case of manipulating panda dataframes with multiple users.

That is awesome.

However I’m not sure if you have seen Livebook.

Soon it will have all the features you are looking for!! It already has collaboration nailed down.

OK. This is exactly why I come to these forums bc lots I don’t know still.

Edit: apparently I have two accounts but this is the same person as above.

I think this might be it while trying to find out how to do, what I used to do with Python & Pandas.

Dataframes explorer:

Explorer with LiveBook:

github.com

elixir-explorer/explorer/blob/main/notebooks/exploring_explorer.livemd

<!-- livebook:{"persist_outputs":true} -->

# Ten Minutes to Explorer

```elixir
Mix.install([
  {:explorer, "~> 0.7.0"},
  {:kino, "~> 0.10.0"}
])
```

<!-- livebook:{"output":true} -->

```
:ok
```

## Introduction

Explorer is a dataframe library for Elixir. A dataframe is a common data structure used in data analysis. It is a two-dimensional table composed of columns and rows similar to a SQL table or a spreadsheet.

@Sebb,

The reason I wrote Soon it will have all the features you are looking for, is because:

LiveBook is geared towards Machine Learning & Data Science tasks. It’s given that these feature eventually get added to it, else it will remain a fancy distributed editor.
