Why We Built Vizly Notebook

The inspiration for Vizly Notebook sprouted from building Vizly, a tool empowering non-technical users to query their data. We wanted to enhance the freedom of code editing and deepen data exploration capabilities – thus, Vizly Notebook was born!

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Make sure you have all dependencies installed and that you are working in a suitable environment.
• If your local server fails to start, double-check the terminal commands for any typos or missed steps.
• Errors when generating code might require recalibrating your API key; ensure it’s entered correctly.
• Check logs for any error messages that can give further insight into the problem you’re facing.
