    We are building Quary (https://quary.dev), an engineer-first BI/analytics product. You can find our repo at https://github.com/quarylabs/quary and our website at https://www.quary.dev/. There’s a demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3hO65_lkGU As engineers who have worked on data at startups and Amazon, we were frustrated by self-serve BI tools. They seemed dumbed down and they always required us to abandon our local dev tools we know and love (e.g. copilot, git). For us and for everyone we speak to, they end up…

    Hi HN, I'm Igor, a proud part of the team here at cube.dev. I'm excited to share some news about Cube, an open-source headless BI platform that now has almost universal connectivity to both upstream and downstream tools in the data pipeline: https://cube.dev/blog/expanded-bi-support If you're confused by "headless BI", there's a blog post to get you covered (https://cube.dev/blog/headless-bi), but the most concise and developer-friendly way to put it would be that Cube can connect to any data source that speaks SQL (from Postgres to BigQuery to…

    I'd love feedback for our new business intelligence product Zetta (https://zettadata.ai). It's a lightweight, metrics-first approach to analytics that makes it easy to have properly governed dashboards from the jump. We do require registration, but we have a free tier (and I'm happy to give out coupons for the paid tier). To get started: - Connect a database or data warehouse (we support BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Postgres, and MySQL) - Go to the metric builder and set up a data model and metrics. Data models are just references to tables or queries that create the base dataset…

    SnapQL is an open-source desktop app (built with Electron) that lets you query your Postgres database using natural language. It’s schema-aware, so you don’t need to copy-paste your schema or write complex SQL by hand. Everything runs locally — your OpenAI API key, your data, and your queries — so it's secure and private. Just connect your DB, describe what you want, and SnapQL writes and runs the SQL for you.

    Hi! One of the creators here. Very proud to finally be able to show you what we've been working on for over a year now. Curious to hear your thoughts! Objectiv is open-source (APLv2) product analytics infrastructure. It's built around a generic but strict event taxonomy, open/common data- and infra tools (currently PG, snowplow, working on bigquery with more to come), and the analyses are done using our pandas-like, SQL speaking modeling library called Bach. As a result, we’re moving towards a vision wherein models can be shared openly, independent of product, platform[1] or data…
