In a world drowning in data, Mode isn't just another analytics tool—it's the operating system for collaborative data science. While competitors build walls, Mode builds bridges between SQL analysts and Python data scientists.

"Mode didn't just build a better SQL editor—they built a language that lets analysts and data scientists finally speak the same dialect."

The tech stack reveals their priorities: Tailwind CSS and Ant Design for rapid UI iteration, PWA for accessibility, and Lazy Loading for performance. They're not wasting cycles on custom frameworks—they're building fast, shipping faster. Hotjar and Google Analytics suggest they're obsessively measuring user behavior, not just usage.
