Gaining Momentum

The project 'Datapane' (submitted as 'DeepWing') appears to be a discontinued venture. While it historically achieved significant traction (Series A funding, ~50k users) and offered innovative Python reporting tools, the project is currently officially unmaintained (v0.17.0 final) with no active development. The submission also contains hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and inconsistent naming, significantly lowering the response quality score. The high score relative to 'dead' projects reflects its previous legitimate market position and verifiable funding history.

Description
Datapane is the simplest way to share data science insights.\n\nPython has grown to be the most powerful way to answer hard questions from data, but is completely inaccessible for non-technical teams. Datapane enables data teams to use Python to build and share interactive reports with non-technical users from inside the tools they love, like Jupyter.\n\nDatapane's API is used to serve insights to over 50,000 people a month and makes data science accessible at hundreds of companies, from start-ups to F500s.\n\nDatapane was founded by YC alumni/Oxford PhD and is backed by over top-tier investors such as Morado Ventures, Acequia Capital, and AME Cloud Ventures.
