The products are similar in the sense that both are cloud-based notebooks, but we have different approaches to building them.
I answered a question about Hex below, and the general outline applies here. To summarize:
1. We want to go beyond just notebooks. We want to centralize all data tasks in Briefer, including traditional BI so we’re building specific features for that, like dashboarding and everything that comes with it.
2. We’ll enable people to use their own compute for the notebooks.
3. We want to allow people to manage notebooks, dashboards, and apps “as code” so they can version it whenever necessary.
We unfortunately didn’t finish items 2 and 3 yet because we’ve only started working on Briefer six months ago, but we’re fast and we’ll get there soon.
Also, we’re working on something new that will make the distinction clearer, but I can’t talk about that yet.
Hey there, CEO of Deepnote here. It looks like we are thinking about this very similarly, as all 3 points are something that we are already doing or will be shipping in the coming weeks. Either way, good luck with Briefer and happy to chat about our learnings building all of these things.
