It's easy to embed a production Evidence site into other apps/sites (can use an iframe), but it's a bit trickier to get that working behind auth. We can help you figure out if it's feasible - let me know and we can set u

We have support for duckdb (and CSVs and Parquet through duckdb). We don't support python, but some people have also told us they have used evidence as the front-end for a python project - used python to do data transformation and calc

Quarto's a great tool, but I think it would be hard to maintain it as a reporting solution for a company. My co-founder Adam and I used to love using RMarkdown in our previous job, but found that as we tried to scale that in our team,

It doesn’t support MSSQL yet, but several people have requested it, so it’s definitely something we’ll support. We accept open source contributions for anyone who wants to add a database connector (a few of our connectors are open source co

This is getting quite a bit more attention than we expected. For HN readers who are interested, we are currently building a hosting, deployment and auth service for Evidence projects - Evidence Cloud. Evidence Cloud is currently onboarding

We have a mailing list you can sign up to at the very bottom of our website. We haven't sent much to date, but we are about to start sending consistent updates, so it's a good time to sign up. There are also a few other great ways

That's really interesting - airplane.dev looks great. We've had similar experiences with BI consumers in the past. In our experience, it's really hard to make self-serve work for business users. Initially, we're starting

We care a ton about making reports look beautiful. At the moment, we have some interactivity through data viz components (tooltips, sorting, etc.), but we have a collection of much more interactive features on our roadmap. Here are a couple

I recently went through this tutorial - it's well organized and I thought they explained the concepts well. https://mangools.com/blog/learn-seo/ I also really liked the ahrefs one you linked. I've only e
