Data Science in your browser - introducing We Do Data Science

I love writing code, but it got painful starting a new software project every time I wanted to make some graphs or do analysis.

I tried some free online tools, but couldn't find anything I really liked.

Some even wanted me to give them my phone number to start a free account.

Protip: to make your number believable, just input your actual phone number with 1 or 2 numbers changed (also works great in bars).

One day I even tried downloading Tableau. 20 minutes later and 2 email confirmations later I was messaging support to cancel my account (they don't let you do this by yourself).

So I created We Do Data Science

We Do Data Science lets you make graphs in your browser.

My personal favourite are Nightingale graphs. I never knew about them until I started making this website.

When I make graphs sometimes I also want to do data analysis. Like performing regression or calculating correlations.

So I built regression calculators

and correlation calculators

I never knew there were different kinds of correlation until I made this site, cool huh.

When I work with data sometimes I need to convert file types. There are lots of great conversion tools online, but none of them converted parquet files.

So I made a csv to parquet converter and a parquet to csv converter.

I even got interested in statistics and made some statistics calculators

Anyway. If you do try out We Do Data Science then I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do.

If something isn't working, or you want to get in touch then you can find me on Twitter with the handle scottgpaulin.
