• More Itertools

  You can implement most of itertools in Javascript, though making it perform well is another story. For instance, https://observablehq.com/@jrus/itertools. - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• Modos Paper Monitor Pre-Launch on Crowd Supply

  Curious to see whether more recent dithering approaches would produce better results. They don't even have to be more resource hungry than the classic Bayer or Floyd-Steinberg dithers! Interleaved Gradient Noise[0][1][2] comes to mind as an alternative to Bayer, and it can even be approximated quite well with just 8-bit operations! Basically, use the following function to determine your threshold based on pixel... - Source: Hacker News / 17 days ago

• I'm writing a new vector search SQLite Extension

  Could this be implemented in Rust? Does that project (sqlite-loadable-rs) support WASM? https://observablehq.com/@asg017/introducing-sqlite-loadable-rs. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Show HN: An extension to track your Wikipedia adventures

  Have you tried out a tangled-tree visualization? [1] I've found it to be super useful when visualizing these sorts of relationships in a compact way. [1] https://observablehq.com/@nitaku/tangled-tree-visualization-ii. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• A feature-rich front-end drag-and-drop component library

  Maybe I'm easy to impress, but I always stop and play around with the nested tree example when I come across Sortable. It works so flawlessly, and feels very tuned to mobile dnd. It even works to arrange (and reflow) inline spans in a paragraph! I have yet to come across this functionality in a text editor..

• Tool or service for querying and exposing database through API

  I am looking for service or tool similiar to Metabase or Redash that allows me to add data source - for example Postgres connection, and create raw SQL queries that can be shared or exposed through API. So instead of keeping raw SQL code somewhere, my other service would call this tool e.g. http://microservice/query=1?param1=xx&page=2 and get the results from the DB. These calls are internal only and part of ETL... Source: 10 months ago

• Did anyone try Openblocks for multi-tenant client reporting?

  I have tried Metabase, Redash beore (both self hosted open source versions), from my experience I find Metabase a bit easy to work with. Source: 12 months ago

• Best apps for transitioning from Spreadsheets to SQLite?

  Regarding visualization tools, sqliteviz has proven to be the best I've found so far. Their web app runs locally but has some trackers, so I run it locally via a simple, static HTTP server. Falcon and Redash seem like overkill for my needs. Source: about 1 year ago

• Framework Laptops are now Thunderbolt 4 certified

  In addition to metabase there are redash[0] and apache superset[1]. They are more or less similar to metabase with some different quirks. You can also visualize quite a bit of data in grafana[2] as well.

• How to program an appealing data visualization, that automatically synchronizes itself? (Picture in comments)

  This is typically called a "dashboard" and there is a whole industry of existing commercial products (for example https://redash.io/) that are built around doing data analysis and visualization. Source: almost 2 years ago
