I built an alternative Jupyter frontend as a native Mac app. It's also reactive (no weird state issues), supports SQL as first class, has autocomplete, is uv-native amd works with agents (like an *existing* ChatGPT subscription that you already pay for)

I find Claude Code pretty effective to help with data analysis. But it's not easy for everyone to setup and manage & has no collaborative capabilities. So I built it into a Slack app.

The fact that AWS reserved instance recommendations run once per month or something is terrifying. I opened a support ticket because was still seeing an RI recommended that I bought a week ago but AWS just doesn't update that metric in anywhere close to real time.
