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.Falcon is open source and works without an internet connection or a Plotly Chart Studio account. Falcon wires together our graphing library plotly.js (https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/), the plotly.js chart editor (https://github.com/plotly/react-chart-editor), Electron, and some open source NPM packages for connecting to databases.Just FYI - As a company (Plotly), we're spending most of our development effort these days on Dash Open Source (https://github.com/plotly/dash) and Dash Enterprise (https://plotly.com/dash). 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.If you want to read more about where we're at, here's an essay we wrote last week on Dash: https://medium.com/plotly/dash-is-react-for-python-r-and-jul...
