Hi, Anders here. I'm currently working on a BI SaaS that might be a good replacement for Chartio: https://www.rationalbi.com

It's a modern take on BI/Analytics, and has all the typical business intelligence functionality: dashboards, scheduled reporting, enterprise security and SAML as well as notebook analytics (like Observable/Jupyter).

You can just drop in data files of any kind, syndicate data from your cloud drives, connect to remote databases, upload via the API, and it has 80k+ open datasets available for analysis and benchmarking.

It also has a full SQL database running in the browser, so if you build dynamic notebooks/dashboards with business logic, you can do really fast SQL without any network latencies.

qapla | 5 years ago | on: Serverless SQLite

I’m using the WASM SQLite (in the browser) for a BI product [1] I’m working on.

It’s been working extremely well and it runs fully sandboxed in a separate worker thread with zero network traffic after the source data has been transferred across. With computational notebooks running alongside it, you can do some pretty powerful analytics with very low latency and it’s great to be able to do inserts and complex queries entirely client-side.

SQLite is one of the greatest software projects I know.

qapla | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: What low-code “dashboarding“ SaaS would you recommend in 2021?

I'm currently working on a SaaS like this: https://www.rationalbi.com/

It's meant to be a modern take on BI/Analytics, and sort of a blend between dashboards, scheduled reporting and notebook analytics (like Observable/Jupyter).

You can just drop in data files of any kind, syndicate data from your cloud drives, connect to remote databases, upload via the API, and it has 80k+ open datasets available for analysis and benchmarking.

It also has a full SQL database running in the browser, so if you build dynamic notebooks/dashboards with business logic, you can do really fast SQL without any network latencies.
