Very cool product !!! 🇱🇧?😁
Maker
thanks!!! pretty close, 🇪🇬 😁
Love the concept! Data collaboration is still in the dark ages (email, sftp, csv, etc.). Do you have (or are you planning to have) an API to grab data sets? We're working on an web-based data prep/etl tool and love the idea of helping others connect to and use opendata (or pipe into data.world).

We are absolutely working to make using our data available externally. We will likely have a number of different API's in the coming months. We've already open sourced a JDBC driver () which allows users to connect and query both SPARQL and SQL against their datasets. Expect to see more APIs in the coming months. And if you have thoughts on what this should look like, please reach out directly to . Thanks :)

I just put together a blog post about the current state of API's —
Great to see; thanks! Launching our own initial public API next week, so this is quite revelant. Wishing you guys much success in tackling this market!

My favorite data.world feature is the New Knowledge visualizations; I love how I can easily play around with the sample queries and look at the data in a variety of graph formats, then copy the embed code to paste the viz I created in my dataset summary or discussion threads. Here's a quick gif showing how to copy/paste your viz to spice up your dataset:

That's definitely in the running for my top feature, too.
Data.world has built an amazing technology on open data and very easy to use compared to their competitors. I have used it personally and I have also asked a popular machine language platform guys to play with data.world and there were very impressed with what they have done so far and how easy it is to integrate. The number of data sets they have is growing day by day and Its very easy to integrate with private data.

That's what we like to hear! Thanks
Maker
Thanks for the kind words Venkat!
This couldn't be more useful for guys like myself getting started out with trying to implement data & data driven decisions into an organisation. Thank you!
Thanks for the love , we definitely think the world will benefit by more easily finding, understanding, and being able to collaborate in the world's data which currently is very fragmented, siloed, and lacks the capture of context and improvements that others have already done with it.
awesome to hear!

Hey Hunters, the intelligence of dog breeds dataset has been pretty popular - like Major the bulldog. I'm curious what other dog datasets we might be able to combine this with. Any ideas? Ask to become a contributor, I'd love to work on this with others.

Here's a cool viz showing distribution of posts by day and time of day. Create your own here:
What an insightful visualization on how people are posting their products on Product Hunt!

Join us at 2pm CT for a live demo with Joe Boutros, Director of Product Engineering! :)
Amazing idea guys. The execution so far is spot on and your team is world class. More APIs!
Maker
Thanks so much Ryan!
Maker
Thanks!! I'll be sure to let you know when we're ready!
Maker
Thanks! More API's coming soon ;)

I've been doing some "lazy Sunday analysis" (read: only easy stuff) on the Product Hunt data over at data.world (). Here's an interesting tidbit: the most common names across all Product Hunt users, in rank order, are Michael, Alex, Chris, David, Matt, Daniel, Nick, Andrew, Adam, Kevin, Ben, Ryan, Sam, James, Jason, John, Eric, Mark, Josh, and Max (after combining Michael + Mike). Granted, some of these names are unisex, but most are distinctly "male." It's interesting that not a single "female" name occurs in the top 20. This must mean the site skews heavily male, and/or perhaps the men share common names moreso than women do.
