We are considering deprecating and eventually removing the add_rows feature.

The main reasons are:

• Very low usage in practice
• A relatively complex implementation that makes other planned features harder to build and maintain
• The add_rows pattern is somewhat inconsistent with the rest of the Streamlit API

Before making any decision, we’d love to better understand how you’re using add_rows today and where existing alternatives fall short.

🙏 How you can help

If you use add_rows, please comment with:

• Your use case – What are you building, and how does add_rows fit in?
• Why alternatives don’t work – e.g. why re-creating or updating the full chart/dataframe is not good enough (performance, ergonomics, readability, etc.).

Your feedback will directly influence whether and how we proceed with removing this feature. Thank you! 💚
