Show HN: Share/Edit Dataframes with Nontechnical Contributors
I created a python package that allows you to generate temporary shareable links to a web-editor for your pandas dataframe.

This is for the common scenario where I need to collaborate with nontechnical contributors, they want to make quick edits, and I want to save time by not having to export the df to a different file and import it again (and deal with whatever issues happen in this formatting and reformatting process).

Running df = pandaBear(df) will generate the free ngrok link from your token in the .env, prompt you for a gmail to authorize access, and then when the person you shared it with finishes editing using the web editor you will have the updated df.

Feel free to check out the demos on the GitHub linked!

P.S. This is my first python package and if people are interested in it I would love to make upgrades to the UI and how it handles large dataframes so please don't hesitate to provide feedback and feature requests!
