Did you end up finding the map examples?

Thank you - I can’t seem to change it now, but good to know for next time. Appreciate the feedback!

Fair point - was just listing out the tools used in this viz library! The leaflet examples are at the bottom of that page.

What would you suggest as a better title?

This is great - I used to use R all the time when I worked in finance and wish I had this resource back then!

R and RMarkdown were big inspirations for what we're building at evidence.dev now, so very grateful to everyone involved in the R community

We use echarts at https://evidence.dev and have been quite happy with it. We do a lot of embedded analytics and it's worked well for us.

Great article and big fan of this approach.

I'm one of the maintainers of Evidence (open source tool based on markdown + SQL) and working on a similar approach to creating presentation tables configurable in code.

Some examples here for any SQL + table enthusiasts: https://docs.evidence.dev/components/data-table

We recently changed our architecture to include interactivity without having to pre-render all combinations. Pages are still pre-rendered with their initial content, but each Evidence app now ships with filter components and an in-browser DuckDB instance so you can build interactive apps. We call this Universal SQL - if you're interested, we wrote up our rationale for doing this here: https://evidence.dev/blog/why-we-built-usql/

Here's an example project with some filter components and custom styling: https://ecommerce.evidence.app/

This is still a static app - the data warehouse was only hit during the app's build process

I'm one of the founders of Evidence (https://evidence.dev) - would be great to hear about your experience. Reaching out now!

You might be interested in Evidence, a SQL-based open source BI tool where all content is version-controllable. Disclaimer: I’m one of the maintainers. A lot of companies use Evidence for customer facing and embedded reporting.

We're fans of Obsidian! DataView looks cool - love the ability to define the tables in code inline in the markdown. That's similar to how we inline DuckDB WASM SQL queries in markdown: https://docs.evidence.dev/core-concepts/queries/

We use ECharts in our open source BI tool (Evidence) and it's a great library. Has helped us build a declarative syntax for viz which can be version controlled (https://evidence.dev)

I found this difficult as well, so I ended up making this Google sheet to compare: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1belBpTKOPGaCC230l0ns...

We used ECharts to build our charting library at Evidence and it’s been a great experience overall (https://evidence.dev).

We started with D3 and a few other tools, but felt that we get a lot more out of the box with ECharts, like interactivity and an events API. ECharts is also a lot more extensible than people give it credit for.

If anyone is curious, we documented the process of selecting a charting library after assessing several options: https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence/issues/136
