Also - post coming soon on how to add functions using PHP, R, Python, Ruby, or Node. Stay tuned!


That's a great point. And since people aren't running dedicated machines, only paying for the requests that happen, it could even be cheaper than spinning up your own server. Interesting!


Talon is now supported. Feel free to make all the cool mailgun api's you want!


Maybe the paid version of your site could support virtualenvs.


Super curious, what would you use the virtualenv for? Each script run happens in its own container. Is it to import your own libraries that we don't support yet?


> Is it to import your own libraries that we don't support yet?

Yeah. I don't have a use for this as-yet but I can see organisations wanting to import their preconfigured envs in.


That's a great point. I was thinking about adding a 'view source' on each script's show page.


Make it an option. Someone might want to put API keys or auth tokens in a script.


Ok. I wonder if it needs to be optional if we let you create private, environment variables for your script. Wouldn't show up on view source. Or maybe we do both :).


thanks for the feedback! i'm going to put up a note right now with the external libraries we support currently (there are a bunch).

great point about monospace. once we start adding in additional languages, we'll add in versions too.


That's great feedback! We will definitely implement this.


Have a look at datawrapper.de - as far as I remember, they use handsontable for data table editing. Datawrapper visualisations are used by many journalism-related sites around the world - seems to be a successful model.


Hey thanks frenchhacker. We made some modifications to gridster for the dashboards. It's a great library, check it out - http://gridster.net/.


Ha, mind me copying and pasting this until we have time to make a real diagram?

It's funny how much better other people can be at explaining your own product.

And thanks for your feedback. If you have any advice on the API itself or any other ideas, definitely let us know!
