• Ask HN: What's the best charting library for customer-facing dashboards?

  We use echarts at https://evidence.dev and have been quite happy with it. We do a lot of embedded analytics and it's worked well for us. - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• SQLPage – Building a full web application with nothing but SQL queries [video]

  It’s interesting to me how far you have pushed the SQL language in this framework, such that it truly is “SQL only”. The challenge as I see it with enabling analysts to build websites is that you need to build abstractions to get from familiar (SQL, yaml) - the language of analytics, to new (HTML, CSS, JS) - the language of the web browser As one of the maintainers of Evidence ( - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Blazer: Business Intelligence Made Simple

  Dataclips was my first experiences writing SQL. Writing code was a markedly better DX that building dashboards in Tableau, which is why I'm now working on https://evidence.dev - a SSG for creating data from SQL and markdown Previous HN discussions:. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Apache Superset

  Full fledged BI tools like Superset and Metabase are amazing for their intended use cases. But they may be an overkill if your primary use case is to infrequently build semi-interactive reports for non-technical end-users and your use cases are are mostly covered by standard graphs & tables. Esp. So if you are familiar with SQL and have access to the underlying data source. Two nifty utilities I have found to be... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Apache Superset

  We use ECharts in our open source BI tool (Evidence) and it's a great library. Has helped us build a declarative syntax for viz which can be version controlled (https://evidence.dev). - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

  We used ECharts to build our charting library at Evidence and it’s been a great experience overall (https://evidence.dev. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Lessons learned from implementing user-facing analytics / dashboards?

  I spent 5 years leading a data team which produced reports for hundreds of users. In our team’s experience, the most important factor in getting engagement from users is including the right context directly within the report - definitions, caveats, annotations, narrative. This pre-empts a lot of questions about the report, but more importantly builds trust in what the data is showing (vs having a user self-serve,... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• What would your dream Business Intelligence tool look like?

  I actually quit my job to pursue this question exactly - I wanted to deliver publication-quality report outputs, and I wanted to be able to define everything in code so I could version control and test the reports. I also wanted it to be open source. That's why I'm part of the team building evidence.dev! Source: 12 months ago

• Ask HN: Open-Source Self-Hosted No-Code Platforms?

  The solution really depends on what sort of problems you are trying to solve and who your customers are. There are a fair few low-code solutions out there for reporting and data visualisation that are great for finance and marketing teams for example. e.g. https://metabase.com/ , https://evidence.dev/ For enterprise processes I'd go with Camunda (solely based on recommendations and not first hand experience).... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Low hanging fruit projects for business with non-mature data science/analytics?

  If this sounds like the situation at your company, I'd recommend taking a look at a free open source project called evidence.dev - it's a way to build data products that are easy for businesspeople to use. You can set up a drill-down structure using pages so people can click through to find the details they need about customers/suppliers/etc (example here). If you're using Python, you can drop your outputs into a... Source: about 1 year ago
