With the recent advance in user interface (UI) technologies, expectations about the UI increased considerably. I advocate that common frameworks for data scientists to create rich web applications encourage a frustrating development experience and that learning a few selected basic skills in web development will improve drastically the development experience.

It is commonly accepted that data is the new gold for many businesses, as it permits better decisions and better insights. We always need to look at data: at the exploration phase, at the model diagnostic stage or during production. Tools come in a wide range of sophistication from Excel, to Tableau via python matplotlib. Different requirements will lead to different types of pain for automating the process. Nevertheless, I am fairly certain that we all desire to present some nice, fancy and interactive dashboards and stories and to distribute them to our stakeholder or audience. The standard process is to package our solutions as web apps (for an application that runs part of the logic on a client device and the other a server).
