Welcome to a New Year with Hex! 🎉 We're revved up to deliver some amazing features this year and can't wait to share them with you.
Data changes, analyses change, people change — with Snapshots you can freeze your results in time and go back to them for easy reference.
Along with Snapshot you can now enable collaborative App sessions by linking to the exact view of the App you want; because we know that when you're collaborating with stakeholders it helps if everyone's all looking at the same data (😅).
We've made it easier to access the details of your Projects without having to leave the Notebook view of your work. All of your Data Connections, Secrets, files, and more have joined the Project Outline in the left sidebar — check out their new home!
Hex started 2020 as an itch our co-founders just had to scratch. A year later our team has tripled (we're still hiring!), we've built (what we like to think is) a beautiful product, and (perhaps most importantly) we've learned a lot from all of you.
Hex lives by a "we're all in this together" philosophy. While there's no doubt that 2021 will be a challenging year, we're confident that by working together it can be a time to deepen relationships with the Hex community as we continue to build a platform that enables data-minded folks to unleash their ingenuity & creativity.
We're all in this together — tell us how we can make your analytical life better, what you think about the features we're building, & what you wish Hex could do. We're excited to build something great with you.
gspread, df2gspread & gspread-dataframe have been added to the default package list for all your Google Sheets connection needs
