Dataframe loading fails on Colab: 'localhost refused to connect'

[Alex]

👋 team, thanks for an awesome library.
Is it supposed to work on Collab? I'm having difficulties making a small demo.

Describe the bug

After mk.gui.start(api_port=2024, frontend_port=8010) iframe fails to load on attempt to show the dataframe.

To Reproduce
Steps and code snippet that reproduce the behavior:

1. Code snippet

import os
import io
import meerkat as mk
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

samples = io.StringIO(r"""
{"X":"a","Y":"b","Z": 1}
""")
df = mk.from_json(samples, lines=True)
mk.gui.start(api_port=2024, frontend_port=8010)
df

2. Instructions in this notebook
3. Errors and traceback
   Only localhost refused to connect.

But !curl 127.0.0.1:8010 returns the HTLM.

Changing the name in run_frontend to 127.0.0.1 didn't change the outcome (127.0.0.1 refused to connect.)

Expected behavior
See a dataframe table.

System Information

• Google Colab

Would appreciate any pointers for getting a demo up and running on Colab.
Thanks!
