Wall Street Prep and Marquee Group are the ones most of the banks and financial institutions use, as far as I recall. Here's a self study package from wall street prep: https://www.wallstreetprep.com/self-study-progra

I helped build the analytics group at a PE fund, and this really fits with my experience. Good decision support is where most of the value is, and it’s about building things that draw conclusions, not just throwing the data over the fence w

Thank you for mentioning it! For anyone who is interested in our cloud service, it's an easy way to put your project online, keep it up to date with your data, and place it behind access control. For many organizations, hosting Evidenc

Thank you! I hear that. We're making a lot of progress on reducing the amount of sql you need to write, keeping it DRY etc. Making the dev experience really buttery and high leverage is definitely a priority. Here are a few of the thin

If you are interested in this, but would prefer to define reports with a markup language (and SQL), I work on an open source code-based BI tool called Evidence, which might be of interest to you. It's effectively a static site generato

We support all major data warehouses today, so if you’re pushing ads data into one of them, you can work with it in Evidence. We are working on support for sourcing data directly from APIs as well, so we will likely add direct connectors fo

https://linear.app/ From Wikipedia: “The Baroque style used contrast, movement, exuberant detail, deep colour, grandeur, and surprise to achieve a sense of awe.” Fits IMO.

Very cool! Just to help folks picture what they can build. Here’s an evidence app: https://evidence-demo.netlify.app/ Here’s a Datapane app: https://dp-examples-1164c73e-stock-ticker.fly.dev/

As an example, GitHub Copilot is already quite good at writing “evidence flavoured” markdown, and it’s really helpful. That worked for evidence users the minute copilot came out. How long will it take tableau to ship something equivalent to

Would you be open to chatting with us about your project? Watching these videos I feel like we (the evidence team) could learn a lot from what you’ve built. If so, feel free to shoot me an email: adam [at] evidence.dev

Thank you for writing this! Not sure if this is exactly the case you’re thinking of, but one thing that is really nice about Evidence is that (if you want to) you can include custom svelte components in your projects. A surprising (to me) n

I haven’t used airplane, but it looks like a more dev oriented retool, which is an awesome idea. We’re building evidence specifically for producing reporting suites, automated analysis and other data products. As a result, we’re keenly focu

Very. Evidence is oriented towards data teams who are building and maintaining large reporting and analysis applications for businesses. Jupyter is better suited to one off analysis. For example: Access to the underlying web framework (svel

It’s actually MDSVEX (the svelte version of MDX), we are weighing out a move to markdoc.

Very excited to give this a spin. Congratulations! Any plans to enable the tool to edit code for me? For example if I ask for a suggestion on how to fix something, could I just “accept” the suggestion and have the changes made to the file?

Right right, PR risk, not AI safety risk. Of course, that makes way more sense.

This line stuck out for me: > I tried to ask for Dall-E by name but that was a content policy violation. It seems like they are trying to prevent it from visualizing “itself”. Is there a less exciting explanation?
