Research papers are no longer dead PDFs. They are alive. ⚡️

Let’s be honest for a second: It is late 2025. Why are we still reading cutting-edge science on static PDFs formatted for A4 paper? We have AI agents writing code, autonomous vehicles, and neural interfaces... yet, to understand the latest breakthrough, we still have to download a flat file, squint at static columns, and imagine how a chart would look if the parameters changed. It’s time for a...

Consulting as a Service can be the way

The traditional consulting model is broken. You trade hours for money. You build custom reports that take weeks. You hit an income ceiling because there’s only one of you. There’s a better way. Let’s talk about productizing your expertise. 💣 The old way: Client A needs a marketing dashboard. (40 hours) Client B needs a similar one. (Another 40 hours) Client C needs one too. (Rinse and repeat)...

Our data manifesto

There are many tools that promise magical data analysis with AI, but businesses don't need charts that appear out of nowhere and hallucinations. Datastripes, despite having text-to-chart capabilities, doesn't want to be a black magician or an oracle: we want people to approach data in a simple, replicable, and aware way. https://datastripes.com

Why not just use ObservableHQ?

A user asked me: Why not just use ObservableHQ? ObservableHQ is amazing, with its full JS control, reactive notebooks, endless flexibility. But every chart, filter, or ML model means writing code. Datastripes does the similar things, but faster and more accessible (like LEGOs): Flow-based, drag-and-drop nodes Low-code nodes with JS, Python, SQL for custom logic Built-in ML, charts, and...

Stop learning SQL first if you actually want to analyze data, use Datastripes

Most beginners are told to start with SQL. It’s structured, powerful, and universal. But it trains you to think in rows and joins, not in insights. If your goal is to explore, transform, and visualize data, SQL can feel like writing essays before you’ve learned the alphabet. Modern tools let you drag, drop, and experiment with flows. You build intuition faster, and only later does SQL make...
