Show HN: Data Studio – Open-Source Data Notebooks
alx-net Tuesday, February 17, 2026Hey HN, I am Alex. I am open sourcing Data Studio, a lightweight data exploration IDE in your browser that runs locally.
Try it: https://local.dataspren.com (no account needed, runs locally)
More information: https://github.com/dataspren-analytics/data-studio
I love working with data (Postgres, SQL, DuckDB, DBT, Iceberg, ...). I always wanted a data exploration tool that runs in my browser and just works. Without any infra or privacy concerns (DuckDB UI came quite close).
Features:
- Data Notebooks
- SQL cells work like DBT models (they materialize to views)
- Use Python functions inside of SQL queries
- Use DB views directly in Python as dataframes
- Transform Excel files with SQL
- You can open .parquet, .csv, .xlsx, .json files nicely formatted
If you like what you see, you can support me with a star on Github.Happy to hear about your feedback <3
