DaisyUI and HyperUI, which are both full component libraries based on tailwind, play well with lit. You either opt out of using the shadow dom or import the global styles into the component. Both methods have official lit support.

Congrats on the launch! This is such an interesting project, as it could bridge the gap between analysis in the business world and engineering. Our organization has been making use of Streamlit extensively, but small changes require involvement of someone on the software side. This potentially makes a possible for anyone to do fairly complicated analyses and produced meaningful dashboards once groundwork has been laid.

Honestly, I’d love to start trialing this as our dashboard creation to the platform today.

On the downside, after setting up an account and creating a couple notebooks, my experience has been unusable slow. While this is likely growing pains as there’s no cost as a user for compute resources, it’s also a nonstarter for us to actually use as an organization. What’s the roadmap to make this more usable?

Lastly, adopting a new platform like this without a data export or local deployment option gives me pause. What can I expect for the longevity of what we create - pieces that become central to business decisions? This is especially true considering how much upfront training will inevitably go into getting started.

What’s always amazed me about the kimchi making process, and other fermented products, I suppose, is the vast variation in ingredients that can go into the same dish and still produce the same fermentation process across geographic regions without the introduction of any specific yeast or bacteria strains. You can basically wash and salt napa cabbage, put it on the shelf, and a day later it’s bubbling with edible bacteria. That being said, different batches of kimchi from different people have vastly different flavors as well.

There’s a local brand near Seattle called Yummy Kimchi that makes amazing kimchi which we consumed in large quantities. Now that I’m not in the area, it’s been hard to find kimchi that is as good. The product is highly amenable to shipping but because of the variations in taste without a standard way to describe them, I’d be forced to try many batches from different places which is frustrating, time consuming, and wasteful. Anyone have luck discovering a shipped kimchi they love?

Well articulated. Outside of software and technology, people have to use software tools that they have little control over - tools assigned for their job. When authors take the time to understand how their tools are used, it can have a profound impact on the daily work for a huge number of people.

For example, I interact my electronic medical records system between 2-5+ hours each day. To write a document requires 15 mouse clicks, with a 1+ second load time after each click. It's painful. I would use the author's words to describe this as an unethical interface. If the devs who wrote this software had to use it for their daily work, I imagine that they would demand new tools or leave in frustration. But for us, as users without a choice, it contributes to dissatisfaction at work and ultimately to burn-out.

UpToDate is the probably the most used clinical resource by doctors in the US. I was surprised to learn that it's available for individuals to subscribe to.

Every hospital makes UpToDate available to its clinicians, because it's so universal. The depth and quality of content is many steps above what someone can find through a web search, and nearly all the clinical content is authored by physicians. It's also what most primary care doctors are looking at when they do more research on something they don't know the answer to in the office. You can find the current standards of care to expect for a specific condition or disease here, with the exception being if you are being treated at an academic hospital providing treatments closer to the leading edge.

I’m a pediatrician. I studied electrical engineering and did software for about 6 years before the career change. I still enjoy programming. It’s a different experience that’s more focused on growing your trade inwardly, while my job now is interacting with people all day! There is so much low hanging fruit in medicine that technology can / should have already solved. I would love to see medicine delivered more efficiently and for doctors to have freedom to focus on patients and doing medicine, rather than wrestling with our digital tools.

I’ve mostly lurked on HN, but I know there are a number of others with the same passion here. I’d love to get to know you!
