Dear Johannes, i had a short look at your https://statable.eu <https://statable.eu/> statistics website. This is really excellent! Your approach to „ask questions“ is very suited for beginners in statistics or simply people who even do not know that they are just on the way to use statistical methods. I remember that I installed pspp because I had the question if different lecturers make a difference in exam results. On your website you start with a question like that and then you propose the methods and the diagrams.
I started your example scenario „Schlaf and Konzentration“. Having examples is of course a great help. You have this nice data analysis where you give hints what might be a problem in the dataset like „maybe w and weiblich mean the same thing? Shall I replace w with weiblich?“ I guess this one of the standard problems when you collect data in some kind of spreadsheet. You can even jump to the cases where this happens. I like that feature very much. Your spreadsheet data visualisation is really nice. Easy to edit, easy to read, easy to scroll. Your whole architecture is cool. I guess many would have put the statistics calculations in the backend. You use webassembly and do everything in the frontend. So your website can be public and support a huge number of users. Very cool. I used px4 flight control software for an autonomous drone. There you log the data in the flight controller and analyze the data lateron on a website by uploading the log data. For example: https://review.px4.io/plot_app?log=c54c3a4c-5446-4343-a834-0bf928110b26 They use bokeh for drawing the charts. ArduPilot is a different flight software and they use plotly for graphing. Both graphing tools allow zooming and panning in the graphs which is very helpful for the flightlog analysis. I did the scatterplot in pspp and therefore I know that it is much more work to produce a nice graph than one might expect. An interactive graph may be possible with plotly and if I remember correctly, this is also something which is there as an addon for R. And you draw nice looking graphs in your webview with different options! You support the pspp syntax which is a good link if you want to have more control over the analysis and if you want to try existing examples. I tried the t-test example from pspp and noticed that the graphs from syntax are not supported. It would probably be nice if the graph syntax would render to something that can then maybe be modified as in your graphs. statable has the questions approach. When I had the data I wanted to create some plots of the data. I guess many users are coming from excel where you can create plots from data. A direct approach to analysis is the pspp syntax window. I looked for a direct way to plotting in the data view. So it took me a little while to figure out that plots are possible via the questions. Maybe some direct way to plots might be nice. In short: https://statable.eu <https://statable.eu/> rocks! Thank you for creating that nice website and tool!
