1. I quite like Evidence, and recommend folks check it out if they haven't already. My general sense is that there are 900 different "BI tooling" startups around right now and it strikes a really good balance between ergonomics (it's basically just Markdown, SQL, and some react components) and ROI (you don't need to do a lot of complicated ingestion, it's just hitting a database directly.)

2. Maybe it's me being a little tin-foil-hatty, but parts of this feel aggressively LLM-written (a suspicion enhanced by looking at some of the other essays on the site.) OP, if you're the author — I strongly advise just getting rid of fluff like "By leveraging Evidence.dev, we've created a comprehensive and visually appealing dashboard that provides valuable insights into FC24 player statistics. This dashboard includes high-level metrics, top player highlights, and detailed analyses of countries and clubs. Whether you're a data analyst or a football enthusiast, this dashboard offers a powerful tool for exploring and understanding FC24 data.". It helps no-one, I promise!

Great to see that BI tools are advancing from basic WYSIWYG to being actually useful tools for business people. At least they don't need to hire freelancers anymore to render some basic data like 10 years ago.

2.: There is nothing wrong with using an LLM to assist you in writing, just make sure to prompt right and give hints to make the result more concise. If it saves you time and the outcome is good enough go for it.

In case this is your project, there are some issues with the demo dashboard's bar charts (top 20 countries):

* Works well on Firefox mobile / android * On Firefox desktop, only every other country name is displayed, for some reason. The name of other countries can only be seen by hovering on the bars, in a tooltip. This kind of makes the chart not so usable * On Chromium desktop, linux (A somewhat old version, v90), the bar charts don't display at all, the error message below is shown in the console:

    Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: e.at is not a function
