Xl8ml

https://xl8ml.com has launched with a small blip.

I've found in the last month answering https://reddit/r/excel questions with 10x fewer lines of code or effort than the other suggested solutions. So I started making videos on YouTube

demonstrating how to use some of the functionality.

Next milestone is to switch to https://kaggle.com and be able to replicate all their tasks without needing to code.

Looks like I have a product that is saving me a lot of time at work. I'm essentially removing the need for a programmer for any kind of data analysis work. With a full set of SQL/PQ style functions I can slice and dice data any way I want and get the data in exactly the way I want.

I can do 95% of what /r/excel and kaggle.com challenges using xl8ml.com. That's a pretty cool achievement, as I can now prototype full data science and machine learning pipelines from the raw user data to final output in Excel without coding. That was the aim.

Now to figure out a website for launch and a business model

I've got all this data processing functions: I can parse dates, match and capture regular expressions to my hearts content; select/join/filter a million rows in seconds. I've dumped the python programmer in me.
What about adding machine learning to the mix. I want to predict the future - doesn't everyone?

Started coding the classic machine learning algos in Rust (get to learn that too), and incorporated them into the plugin. Now we can do linear and logistic regression, principle component analysis and even decision trees.
This is starting to look even more useful.

That's the problem right? You want to do something with Excel and it offers this amazing workflow design capability to non-coders. It's not just for accountants. Anyone and everyone with some idea of a process uses it.
But at some point you just want to do something as simple as parse a date in a weird format or extract the specific text from a cell and you start to hit a wall and have to switch to VBA or PowerQuery or hire a developer Python

What if I took all that functionality in Python Pandas and brought it to Excel. That way you get user friendly sheets that dynamically update - far easier to code and use.
