Sopho - Open Source Business Intelligence Platform

Hacker News

I got tired of the increasing gap between the open source and closed source products for business intelligence and data analytics in terms of product quality, performance and AI features. Hence, I started building Sopho. Currently, Sopho has the following features: - Canvas: integrated notebook and dashboard in one place - Chart Cells: configurable bar, line, pie, and metric charts for data visualization - SQL Cells: write and execute SQL powered by CodeMirror editor and TanStack Table - Keyboard Shortcuts: global search (Cmd+K) and notebook editing shortcuts - Connections: PostgreSQL, Supabase, and SQLite with encrypted credential storage - Authentication: username/password with session-based access and refresh tokens - Deployment: Docker image with configurable environment variables - Documentation: live Fumadocs-based docs site There is a Docker image with sample data, dashboards and notebook which works out of the box. I am planning to spend some time on the AI features next to get the bases right. Would love some feedback!
