HN comment orderMy current setup is a postgres db and jupyter instance running on docker. Data visualization is easy enough with seaborn/matplotlib/pandas plotting. I would love to see a better tool for this but its hard to beat running your own. There is no vendor lock in, no subscription fee, no uploading large datasets, no privacy issues on private data, no "gotcha" moment when the tool can't produce quite the visualization you're looking for.
I hate to be that person but the donation banner ad at the top means only about 20% of the screen shows the content. Can't really read what this is about except through a narrow slot.
