I'm looking for inspiring and creative software for data input and analysis to use in our ux research (as reference that is, not as tools for conducting the research). To me, Jupyter and Observable are great examples. Excels soon-to-be Python integration seems promising too. It seems Fathom (fahtom.info) has built some impressive tools.

Do you have any examples to share?

What is 'positive impact', you ask. Well, I'm eager to hear your ideas but I'm thinking software that tackles the big challenges: energy usage, preventing armed conflicts, reducing poverty, STEM training, improving access to sustainable environments, implementing AI, et cetera.

I would argue Wikipedia continues to be a very important software project (albeit with an emphasis on the database on content than the wiki software itself), and Linux as this specific piece of software serves as a platform for many other applications and services.

What do you see?
