  • What I’ve heard often is that the customer might want to build a dashboard using AI on the fly.

    Like imagine you have a site and there’s blank canvas. It has access to some data in the background. The user might be like “build a dashboard showing YoY performance of X and break down the shipments in a table by Y and Z”. Then the agent builds it and persists it such that when they log out and log back in they can see their custom dashboard they assembled themselves.

  • I reckon this is a simplification of existing BIAC tools (eg, https://github.com/lightdash/lightdash)

  • Love the idea. The ability to PR a dashboard would've helped us in multiple companies.

    The two big areas that could use some docs/work: - Auth (one company was healthtech, so we needed auth even on VPN. The other didn't have a VPN so we needed auth) - Hosting: If it just needs to be run in a container and it doesn't need to be restarted that's fine. Though if there isn't a hosting document it's often a sign of a service that will need someone to keep it running all the time

  • Well done on the launch! We’ve doubled down on the apps as YAML paradigm a few years ago and its pay great dividends on all fronts, esp now with code gen spinning out apps faster than ever for us (generated yaml). Our largest app is well over 500k lines of yaml - for those complaining about 1000 lines lol. With the right tool stack and conventions its so much easier to read, write. review and maintain. Shameless plug, we’ve built Lowdefy (open source) and 100s of dashboards using it. Have a look and keen to unpack if you’re interested in sharing experiences. Specially have a look at what we did with operators for dynamic needs. https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy

  • Consider adding that snazzy gif in the README to the docs landing page. I went straight to the docs and then hunted for a screenshot to no avail.

  • DaC might be more distinguishable from DAC, although the context obviously also helps readers telling them apart.

    Yours sincerely, came here for another DAC

  • Why not use Vega-Lite[0]? It’s my go-to data viz DSL with Claude.

  • Might want to add how this compares to other products in the space.

    Some that come to mind that are potentially tangentially related/similar:
