Questions & Answers

As answered by people managing ChartBase.
  1. What makes ChartBase unique?

    ChartBase takes you from a spreadsheet or database to a shared, interactive dashboard in the browser, with nothing to install. Connect Excel, CSV, PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQL Server, draw how your tables relate, and let the AI draft a dashboard from your real tables or write a formula from a plain-English description. Viewers are free and unlimited on every plan, and the whole product works in English and Arabic.

  2. Why should a person choose ChartBase over its competitors?

    You only pay for the people who build dashboards: viewers are free and unlimited on every plan. The Free plan doesn’t expire, needs no card, and includes the AI dashboard builder. No SQL is needed: relationships are drawn on a canvas and charts are built by dragging fields. Share a dashboard with named people, as a link, embedded in your own site, or as a PDF or Excel export.

  3. Which are the primary technologies used for building ChartBase?

    Next.js, React and TypeScript on the front end, with Apache ECharts for the charts. A Node.js and Express API on PostgreSQL, DuckDB over Parquet files for analytical queries, Redis for background jobs, and S3-compatible storage for uploaded files.

  4. How would you describe the primary audience of ChartBase?

    Teams whose numbers live in spreadsheets or in a PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQL Server database, and who want dashboards without a data-engineering project: founders, operations, finance and sales teams, and the analysts and consultants who build dashboards for them. Arabic-speaking teams get the full product in Arabic, right-to-left.

  5. What's the story behind ChartBase?

    ChartBase started at my day job. As a senior software engineer, I was asked to build a lot of dashboards, and each one meant the same manual work: figuring out how the tables relate, writing the formulas, and deciding which charts fit the data. I kept asking AI chat assistants for help one piece at a time, but none of them could look at the data and build the dashboard itself.

    So I built one that can. ChartBase reads a sample of each Excel sheet or database table, works out how the tables relate and what the data is for, and drafts a dashboard that leads with the numbers an executive looks for first. Everything it builds stays editable: change any chart, write your own measures, or start from a blank page.
