all BI charts end up looking the same, but why?

it's because we're normally doing the same thing - discrete dimension on X axis, continuous measure on Y

run query-> get chart, using @duckdb-gsheets.com

@duckdb-gsheets.com v0.0.5 is now live!

big news with this version is now you can force duckdb to read EVERYTHING as a string with the all_varchar flag

we also welcomed a new contributor to the project in this release - props to Michael Harris for all the new features!

It runs without an LSP!

What Is a Flat File? The ultimate guide to flat files, their use cases, format specifics, and how they stack up against non-flat file databases and relational DBMSs

sometimes you get really deep into something very niche

i'm always using CSVs + json to store little bits of data, but never considered why these formats (a large part is portability!)

Alex and I put together this guide about when to use flat files, and when not to

We've overhauled our VS Code autocomplete system to include:
- Autocomplete for component props
- Inline prop documentation
- Option selection for props that have finite options
- Query name suggestions within any data prop
- Better table suggestions in SQL, including CTEs and chained queries

Evidence components now let you include helpful info tooltips to give your users extra context in the right places

Line Chart Display how one or more metrics over time. Line charts are suitable for plotting a large number of data points on the same chart.

Evidence is a superset of markdown

Awesome color scheme 💅

The Most Popular Code-based Business Intelligence Tools, Reviewed Comparing the most popular BI-as-code tools: Evidence, Streamlit, Dash, Observable, Shiny and Quarto

A guest contributor published this on the issue.

In short:
- If code already in python, Streamlit will probably be quicker to start
- But every change causes a full script re-run, so the reactivity is slow
- And you don't have much control over styling

You found the easter egg
