Brainstorming functions to make PySpark easier
We're brainstorming functions to make PySpark easier, see this issue: https://github.com/MrPowers/quinn/issues/83

PySpark OSS Contribution Opportunity
Adding some README documentation to the README should be quite straightforward. Here's a function that needs to be documented: https://github.com/MrPowers/quinn/issues/52 .

Invitation to collaborate on open source PySpark projects
quinn is a library with PySpark helper functions. I need to work through all the open issues / PRs and bump all versions. I should do another release. This library gets around 600,000 monthly downloads.

Pyspark now provides a native Pandas API
Pandas syntax is far inferior to regular PySpark in my opinion. Goes to show how much data analysts value a syntax that they're already familiar with. Pandas syntax makes it harder to reason about queries, abstract DataFrame transformations, etc. I've authored some popular PySpark libraries like quinn and chispa and am not excited to add Pandas syntax support, haha.

Register Native Functions in PySpark
Here's how I added a create_df method to the SparkSession class: https://github.com/MrPowers/quinn/blob/main/quinn/extensions/spark_session_ext.py

Is Spark - The Defenitive Guide outdated?
They spent a lot of effort improving the catalyst engine under the hood too and making it easier to extend and improve it in the future. Making it easy to add your own native code to Spark itself. Shameless plug of a blog post I wrote on this subject which basically reiterates what Matthew Powers, author of Spark Daria and quinn, wrote here.

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I built daria (https://github.com/MrPowers/spark-daria) to make it easier to write Spark and spark-fast-tests (https://github.com/MrPowers/spark-fast-tests) to provide a good testing workflow.
quinn (https://github.com/MrPowers/quinn) and chispa (https://github.com/MrPowers/chispa) are the PySpark equivalents.
Built bebe (https://github.com/MrPowers/bebe) to expose the Spark Catalyst expressions that aren't exposed to the Scala / Python APIs.
Also build spark-sbt.g8 to create a Spark project with a single command: https://github.com/MrPowers/spark-sbt.g8

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I built https://snipp.in because I was top frustrated about the loading times of notion. I am a developer and I take notes quite often, most of us spend a lot of time on an IDE and when we need format a quick json or copy a tiny snippet we often find ourselves in opening another instance of an editor with a txt file or random website to formate json. Snipp.in is a tiny jn browser editor, note taking app and a snippet manager all in one which looks like an Editor but really fast without any bs of signin/signups or cloud. It just stores everything in your browser using IndexedDB. It's also open-sourced at https://github.com/haxzie/snipp.in
