Show HN: Regrail – Open-Source, Visual Data Transformation and Querying Tool As a software engineer, it's frustrating to see those who can't code stuck with spreadsheets as their most powerful data tool. This is especially true when there is such a thin layer that exists to access arbitrarily powerful data and AI/ML tools (typically just Python and pandas/SQL). I built Regrail last year to demonstrate a visual, procedural tool that abstracts the primitives of data engineering. It uses a block-based editor that allows users to see the changes they are making to tables step by step. You can think of it like a visual DAG builder. I believe that data literacy is fundamental to human progress, and I'd love to see a world where a more advanced data tool than Google Sheets is available to the general public and working with data can be as fun and collaborative as coding or design. Regrail may be a good starting point for this and I'd love to turn it into a community project to get it to a v1.0 state. Feel free to send me an email if you'd like to get involved. https://regrail.io June 16, 2023 at 02:09AM
