Hex

Hex is a collaborative data-analytics notebook product and company. In a September 2022 post, its co-founder Barry McCardel noted that people had long described it as “Figma for data,” and that the company’s design lead had written up why the analogy holds (People Have Long Referred to… (tweet)).

In the wiki’s company notes, Hex appears as a direct competitor of Deepnote (alongside Streamlit and Databricks notebooks), and is named next to Aquarium in a list of AI and data-infrastructure companies. The “Figma for data” framing links it to Figma as a reference point for collaborative tooling.
