Chapter 10: The Data Project – Prototyping Projects in Streamlit

In the previous chapter, we discussed how to create Streamlit applications that are specific to job applications. Another fun application of Streamlit is to try out new and interesting data science ideas and create interactive apps for others. Some examples of this include applying a new machine learning model to an existing dataset, carrying out an analysis on some data uploaded by users, or creating an interactive analysis on a private dataset. There are numerous reasons for making a project like this, such as personal education or community contribution.
