What it does

Evidence allows you to build automated reports using SQL and Markdown. It's an open source alternative to drag-and-drop BI tools.

Evidence is an open source, code-based alternative to drag-and-drop BI tools. Build polished data products with just SQL and markdown.

BI as code so your team and their agents can build and ship analytics together. Weekly active teams grew 34% last quarter, from 1,113 to 1,492 — most of the gain landed after the April release. Done — added a target line at 1,600. You're at 1,492, about 93% of the way there. Pro-plan teams drove 78% of the gain. Activation held steady at 61% week over week. Churn fell to 2.1%, the lowest this year. Define your entire BI platform as code in a repo. Build, automate, and ship analytics with our editor or any coding agent. Reports and dashboards. Defined as Markdown files with SQL and components. Evidence Studio includes a complete development environment for your Evidence project. Nothing to…from evidence.dev

    I have been working on SQL Explorer, an open source, Django-based reporting and query tool for (gulp!) almost ten years. It's a tool that fits just right for me and many others, and I love and use almost every day. Write SQL, share results, do some analysis, get insight. No surprises. A live demo instance is here (no login or anything required): https://demo.sqlexplorer.io/ And here's a fairly unprofessional, but very enthusiastic, video tour: https://sql-explorer.s3.amazonaws.com/Sql+Explorer+5.mp4 The UI is constrained enough that there's very little to learn,…

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
