Discussion 3 – Ship It & Forecast

Discussion 3 – Ship It & Forecast#

Focus for today: get every team’s Streamlit app under version control, publish it to Streamlit Community Cloud, and experiment with baseline forecasting so you can demo progress with confidence.

Today’s Timeline#

Discussion 3 (12:00 – 1:00 pm)#

  • Check-In: quick check-in on app progress and confirm everyone can log into GitHub.

  • Creating your own GitHub repo: Follow creating_new_github_repo.md to create a new GitHub repo, clone it locally, add the app files, inspect diffs, stage intentionally, and push to main.

  • Deployment walkthrough: Use deploying_streamlit_app.md to connect Streamlit Community Cloud to the new repo and note the differences between Community and Pro tiers.

  • Forecast primer: Walk through time_series_forecasting for a quick tour of the Nixtla time series tools and prep results for your Streamlit dashboards.

Breakout Session (1:00 – 3:00 pm)#

  • Finish your own analyses and visualizations for your dashboard.

  • Publish your Streamlit app: finish any remaining code edits, push to GitHub, and deploy using the Community Cloud tutorial.

  • Stretch goal: Try your hand at time_series_forecasting to experiment with the Nixtla time series forecasting libraries and integrate forecasts into your dashboard.

Regroup for Discussion 4 (3:00 pm)#

  • Arrive with your deployed app link (or a local demo plan) and be ready to share the asset class you explored, the key visual insight you found, and one technical hurdle you overcame.

  • Network with your peers! Find new friends and collaborators with similar interests.
