    We’re working on a static site generator for data analysts called evidence. It’s an alternative to conventional BI tools.

    Procedurally generating pages from data and linking them together is a core part of the offering. In many applications this is far easier for users than presenting them with a conventional filter interface.

    DuckDB is really having a moment

    The ecosystem is very active, and they have recently opened up "community extensions" to bring your own functions, data types and connections. A barrier at the moment is that extensions are written in C++, though this limitation should be removed soon.

    I've been building a lot on top of DuckDB, two of the projects I'm working on are linked in the article:

    - Evidence (https://evidence.dev): Build data apps with SQL + Markdown

    I'll ask another of the "how is this different" questions - how is this different from https://evidence.dev/ ? Quary seems a little like dbt + Evidence from what I can see.

    It’s interesting to me how far you have pushed the SQL language in this framework, such that it truly is “SQL only”.

    The challenge as I see it with enabling analysts to build websites is that you need to build abstractions to get from familiar (SQL, yaml) - the language of analytics, to new (HTML, CSS, JS) - the language of the web browser

    As one of the maintainers of Evidence (https://evidence.dev), one of the things I’ve often considered is how accessible our syntax is to analysts. Our syntax combines SQL and Markdown, with MDX style components e.g.

    The are inherently webdev-ey, and I do think they put off potential users.

    On the flip-side, by adhering to web standards, you get extensibility out of the box, and working out what to do is just a Google search away.

    Anyway, thanks for the thought provoking piece.

    Dataclips was my first experiences writing SQL.

    Writing code was a markedly better DX that building dashboards in Tableau, which is why I'm now working on https://evidence.dev - a SSG for creating data from SQL and markdown
