I built a demo hub where users can experiment with data science by graphing data sets in the browser then downloading them. Web Monetized browsers won't see the Ads on the page and can also experiment with additional graphing tools.
Note: This project is in the demo phase. In the future, I’d like to build out the graphing tools to handle more sophisticated data sets. As well as add a login/dashboard feature. 🙂
Why I built it
While researching what to build for the Grant For the Web Hackathon I initially thought of creating something with a JavaScript framework since I'd be interacting with the browser API. However, my journey here on Dev.to is to learn more about Python and what we can do with it. So I thought about how I could incorporate Web Monetization with Python. After some digging, I found this cool project created by Mozilla called Pyodide!
"Pyodide is an experimental project from Mozilla to create a full Python data science stack that runs entirely in the browser."

Some of you may be thinking what's wrong with just using JavaScript? JavaScript is great but can you imagine a world where you can use mature data science libraries in the browser to quickly create data science tools and machine learning models? Not to mention being able to share those resources over the web? AND being able to make some money in the process?! 🤯🙌🏾
Pyodide is currently in its infancy and there are caveats and performance drawbacks but I'm excited to see where it goes!
