The piano keyboard is the perfect point-and-click interface. It can’t be any simpler. Anyone can appreciate the output. And it’s easy to get started. Yet it has nearly infinite possibilities for expressiveness and social interaction.
Protobi is similarly designed for a spectrum of users, from viewers who see and query polished views of datasets that have already been imported and configured, to authors who have data they’d like to see, explore and share with colleagues.
That said, to play or compose on the piano still has a learning curve. But once you know what’s possible, learning can be a pleasure.
Learning to create your own views in Protobi is a lot easier. Protobi creates a basic view instantly, and features like Autogroup can usually make great guesses that speed your work. See a video
