    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

    - DuckDB GSheets (https://duckdb-gsheets.com): Read/Write Google Sheets via DuckDB
