 "page_title": "How to share a self-serve data explorer as a Streamlit app with Pygwalker",
 "summary": "Host the PyGWalker UI in Streamlit so teammates can explore a dataset in the browser without a notebook.",
 "who": "An analyst whose colleagues keep asking for slightly different cuts of the same data.",
 "problem": "Every new question becomes a request to the one person who has the notebook.",
 "outcome": "A web app where anyone can drag fields to build their own charts on the shared dataset.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Pygwalker and streamlit",
  "Import StreamlitRenderer from Pygwalker.api.streamlit and set the page layout to wide",
  "Wrap the renderer in a function decorated with st.cache_resource so memory does not explode",
  "Create `StreamlitRenderer(df, spec_path=\"./gw_config.json\", spec_io_mode=\"rw\")` to let users save chart configs",
  "Call renderer.explorer() and run the app with Streamlit"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Build a Streamlit app with Kanaries/pygwalker that loads <dataset>, caches the StreamlitRenderer with st.cache_resource, saves chart configs to gw_config.json, and shows the explorer. Use computation=\"kernel\" if the data is large.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "With spec_io_mode set to rw, anyone using the app can change the saved chart config, so keep a backup.",
