On: Show HN: Database for analyzing US companies, visualize using Apache SuperSet

I looked at superset a few years ago and looked great but not popular enough to trust it. Seems the same state now?

Well its a top-level apache project nowadays.

I am not sure what you mean by 'trust it'? As in, does it display the data as it should? It is difficult to find free open source data visualization tools that can run in the browser, that anybody could log-in and use right away. For my personal analytics I use Tableau, connected to the same dataset.

I meant that it wasn't popular enough to use it because it might be buggy and/or wont be around in 5 years.

It got better and better and is still around.

Their base technology server side (Sql Alchemy/ Pandas) and client side (React Antd, Apache Echarts) is future proof.

I see. Well its not as slick as paid data visualization tools for sure.

For a tableau open source alternative that runs in browser, you can try graphic-walker: https://github.com/Kanaries/graphic-walker

Thanks for the tip! I will check it out!

Honestly somewhat buggy, specially the asynchronous and cached queries which were quite important to me.
