Hello everyone! I am working on an open source reporting tool, that was mostly focused on the 'Embed analytics in your app' use case, which I found was either not great or not flexible or expensive, or all three!
However, I decided today to use this library wrapped in an app that makes it work like Metabase (and I use 'like' in its broadest sense here as it is quite early in its life). I have pushed an initial version live this weekend, and am looking for input to help prioritise features that close the gap with Superset / Metabase that would stop actual users using it. I want to avoid adding things that are not necessary. For now it only connects to postgres, but I will add lots of other providers (it is bound atm by databases that Drizzle supports).
I am not targeting big enterprises, more small teams / startups that just want a really user friendly and flexible reporting tool - that includes a simplified agentic analysis workflow like hex.tech (bring your own LLM keys).
If anyone has the time to take a look and provide any feedback that would be hugely appreciated! There is a cloud option which for now is free, so if you aren't comfortable running it yourself locally (it only needs docker and a single container), you can also try that and let me know of any feedback. Nothing is paid for now but I was considering that at a v low cost level - e.g. €10 per month - to cover hosting, it is very lightweight and I dont store any data.
The github is here: https://github.com/cliftonc/drizby - I am really looking for input on the roadmap and if this is useful for others outside of my original use case (it is already actively being used in that way by myself and others).
