    I really love how reactivity is being utilized across the stack. It's been pretty big on the frontend for a while now (React, etc), but I think data is another space it can really shine.

    This is slick. Tons of cool unlocks with this in terms of collaboration and cost management!

    Looks really neat! The reactivity part and widgets/IU reminds me of R Shiny, but the addition of a DAG is really smart. Great job!

    Very cool, Would have loved to have this power at my fingertips when I was getting acquainted with notebooks.

    Love the demo! Its so cool each project is modeled as a DAG and can be visualized in a graph view!

    Looks neat, although a pricing page would be helpful on the site.

    disclaimer: I work at hex!

    This stuff is so cool. I literally joined the company because I heard that they were thinking about this reactive stuff and it's super cool to see it released!
