This "problem" had been bugging me for a decade. The schism between "Proprietary BI Tools" (quick and inflexible) and just writing things from scratch (slow and wide open). You customers don't know or care what your tools can and can't do - and god forbid your org spent millions on Tableau (or whatever) already - your bed is basically made...

Why can't we have a bit of both - and put some direct-manipulation, Bret Victor-y Twists on it?

I just want to build "nice things" for my users that answer their questions, have some re-usability, lots of interactivity, and be able to check it into source control...

Ended up in this beautiful mutation of Tableau meets Hypercard meets Powerbuilder, etc (I think there is even a little SmallTalk and Lotus Notes in there). It's funny how the ultimate evolution of a dash tool is essentially an internal app builder...

Anyways - so I jumped off the ledge and dedicated an entire year to this - alpha is a bit rough around the edges, but it's def something interesting...

Don't let your dreams be memes - or something like that. :)

Didn't take it that way at all. All good. :)
