#33metabase.com is amazing if you're dumping the data into Postgres or similar.
I want to love Metabase, I really do. But some of the UI decisions are mind boggling. Why is accessing reports and dashboards so difficult? Things are hidden away under poorly named constructs. Buttons don't do what I'd expect them to do... It's great but it comes with a few drawbacks.
I didn't find this at all - it's great to be able to pin a bunch of dashboards to the main page that users see when logging in, and to allow them to drill down from the dashboard by filtering their own data, or downloading a CSV.
The UI for creating dashboards isn't the best, but it's really nice to be able to drop down to SQL so easily and share or embed results.

#34There are so many such solutions, that It depends on your use cases. If you're looking for high-level dashboarding/monitoring that connects directly with your sources (REST, 3rd-party apps like Facebook, Adwords, etc), then tools in the realm of Klipfolio, Databox, Grow.com will suit you well. If you're looking for visualization tools that connect to your data-warehouse/SQL database, then BI tools like Holistics, Met…
This is a great reply.
A nondev should likely stick to the first group, which has a lot of integrations and the hardest coding will be around excel formulas at most
In my experience its best to do the following:
Have 1 dashboard specific to business finance and ads metrics. This dashboard includes klipfolio or simpler things like grow or fathom accounting.
Another tool connected to your bd, at the most basic starting with mode Analytics and then going full visual with looker or tableau (this is where things get expensive)

#35Appsmith would work great! It’s an open source project with cloud hosting and self-hosting options. You can query any REST endpoint and use JS to aggregate the outputs to connect it to charts, tables or text components. Also use JS to change the query params when you use date or search filters.

#36I looked into this recently, when I started writing the software to analyze my selftracking data. After researching available options for a while and consulting everyone I know in this field, I settled on building on top of the Plotly Javascript library: https://plotly.com/javascript/ It does nice interactive charts out of the box. All you need to do is throw data at it. What it lacks are more high level operations l…
I picked plotly in 2019 to build kind of a low-code-dashboarding at my company and got to look into it again few weeks ago, noticing there in fact is an aggregation capability.

#37I'm working on a tool to build any sort of dashboard by just a couple of lines of JS. This is our YC application video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XfCwXCPLcU&feature=youtu.be
We didn't get in (this time), but we are about to launch a beta soon. If someone is interested please send me an email at @gmail.com - Thanks

Glad that it works for you and thanks for posting about it here. (I'm one of the co-founders)

You seem to be kind of shadowban (not sure what the proper term is), you might want to write an email to the hn moderation to clear that up
