Falcon is a free, open-source SQL editor with inline data visualization
Hello HN! Nice to see this up here. Chris here, cofounder of Plotly.<p>Falcon is open source and works without an internet connection or a Plotly Chart Studio account. Falcon wires together our graphing library plotly.js (<a href="https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/</a>), the plotly.js chart editor (<a href="https://github.com/plotly/react-chart-editor" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/plotly/react-chart-editor</a>), Electron, and some open source NPM packages for connecting to databases.<p>Just FYI - As a company (Plotly), we're spending most of our development effort these days on Dash Open Source (<a href="https://github.com/plotly/dash" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/plotly/dash</a>) and Dash Enterprise (<a href="https://plotly.com/dash" rel="nofollow">https://plotly.com/dash</a>). Truth be told, we found that most companies we worked with preferred to own the analytical backend. We also heard many stories of organizations running into roadblocks with off-the-shelf SQL or BI tools (Falcon included!). Our approach with Dash is to provide the visualization and application primitives so that you could build your own tailor-made dashboards, analytical apps, or yes, even SQL editors.<p>If you want to read more about where we're at, here's an essay we wrote last week on Dash: <a href="https://medium.com/plotly/dash-is-react-for-python-r-and-julia-c75822d1cc24" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/plotly/dash-is-react-for-python-r-and-jul...</a>
