Matrices – Explore, visualize, and share large datasets

Hacker News

Hey HN, I'm excited to share a new side project I've been working on. The product is called Matrices. You can check it out here: https://matrices.com/ . With Matrices, you can explore, visualize, and share large (100k rows) datasets–all without code. Filter data down to just what you want, visualize it with built-in charts, and share your results with one click. You can use it today (no login or waitlist or anything). Just copy and paste your data from a google sheet or CSV file. It's hard to describe the feeling of "gliding over data" you get with Matrices, so I'd rather _show_ you how it works instead. This 75s video will give you a sense of how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrh9_I3Ux8E . Data is stored locally in your browser until you publish it, though small sample does go to the OpenAI APIs for AI-assisted features. I started building Matrices because I wanted a tool that made it easy to explore new datasets. When I'm first trying to dig into data, I'll have one question... that leads to another... that will invariably lead to five more questions. It's sort of a fractal process, and I couldn't find many good options that were fast, responsive, and visual. I figured this crowd would be interested in tech stack as well, it's using arquero [1] bindings over apache arrow for in-memory analytics, and visx [2] for visualizations. I'd like to add duckdb-wasm support at some point to open up a wider set of databases. Data is serialized as parquet to save a bit on bandwidth + storage. Give it a spin, and let me know what you think. This is my first 'serious frontend project' so I appreciate any and all feedback and bug reports. Feel free to comment here (I'll be around most of the day), or shoot me a note: hi@matrices.com [1]: https://uwdata.github.io/arquero/ [2]: https://airbnb.io/visx/
