Vizro – toolkit for creating modular data visualization applications

Re: Vizro – toolkit for creating modular data visualization applications
#22If you are interested in this, but would prefer to define reports with a markup language (and SQL), I work on an open source code-based BI tool called Evidence, which might be of interest to you. It's effectively a static site generator aimed at building automated reports and analysis. https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence Previous discussions on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28304781 - 91 comments http…
Evidence looks incredible! I would start using it right away except I don't see it having any sort of date range picker / filter capability. Is the concept of being able to let our end users filter / drill into graphs with customized queries at odds with how Evidence works? Or are these things just not built yet?
They are in progress right now, and they are really slick! Will be landing later in October.
If you want to read about / play around with the version of the product that supports that type of thing, it's in a pre-release here:

#23Vizro looks nice, as does Evidence (mentioned below). I think it's good to remember that these types of apps often don't exist in a silo. It would be excellent to be able to integrate them into a larger platform (Django app, etc) to create a less disjointed experience for consumers.

Thank you for your feedback! I am one of the engineers on team :) So we introduced this layer to serve as a configuration driven assembly system which implements built-in visual styling and an opinionated approach in terms of both application architecture and UX, in order to enable standardisation in code and user journeys for multi-screen applications and complex interactions between components.
This looks nice! Critical feedback: - Spending about 5-10 minutes on your page, I also couldn't figure out why or what you were trying to do. The copy you wrote above is perhaps clearer, but not clear. - You have less than 5-10 minutes to sell me on what you're doing. - I began to get it when I clicked on the screenshot, and saw controls with vm.Filter(column=... - To use this myself, I'd want to be able to add it in…
Thank you very much for the feedback!
We are definitely taking these points into consideration.

Amazing!
