BI Tableau Alternatives
Does anyone have tools or workflows they use to create visualizations on their data? The tools I'm familiar with aren't geared towards IndieHackers (not trying to spend $80 a month on Tableau). Personally I'm on a mac so PowerBI isn't an option either
Metabase has an Open Source version that you can run on your machine: https://www.metabase.com/start/oss/
Or you can deploy it to your own servers. Some providers have one click deploy for it: https://render.com/docs/deploy-metabase
Yes, metabase is great and I highly recommend it. Easy to use and free if you host it.
have you tried metabase?
My team and I are in the process of building a first version of our no code data visualization tool.
You can take a look and see if it can work for you: https://app.drawingdata.io/
Though, its still a work in progress and currently only has three charts available.
How complex are the visualizations you're trying to make? I've currently got a project which let's you do some basic manipulation on data, but I could add on some visualization if it fits your needs?
Otherwise https://mode.com is also pretty good imo
Edit: my project: https://codelessapi.io
I haven't tried it, but Observable looks decent.
Are you trying to make interactive visualizations using your data, or just static images?
