> Datasette is not a BI tool or an OSINT tool. As it is, Datasette is positioned between data enthusiasts and investigative reporters which is a very narrow niche. This severely limits its potential.
FYI, you can already perform some "BI as code" (as I like to call it) using the Datasette Dashboards plugin[1]: specify charts using SQL queries + a visual spec (Vega, Vega-Lite, Maps, Tables, etc.), and assemble a dashboard layout. It is not yet as feature-full compared to Metabase for instance, but several people have been using it for various use-cases successfully.
