I kind of had a soft launch of my #TidyTuesday site last week, and I'd taken a stab at the one before that—but this is the first time I'm happy with what I ended up with. Powered by @evidence.dev and @duckdb.org. #DataBS tidytuesday.seanlunsford.com/2025-09-02/
A GitHub-style calendar heatmap titled “Ribbiting Data: Unique frog species recorded in Australia” with data from the November 2017 to November 2023. It shows higher counts in the spring and summer, with a dip in the winter.

sometimes you get really deep into something very niche i'm always using CSVs + json to store little bits of data, but never considered why these formats (a large part is portability!) Alex and I put together this guide about when to use flat files, and when not to evidence.dev/blog/what-is...

We've overhauled our VS Code autocomplete system to include: - Autocomplete for component props - Inline prop documentation - Option selection for props that have finite options - Query name suggestions within any data prop - Better table suggestions in SQL, including CTEs and chained queries

Great, the API from parkendd.de is available as #OpenData. This is finally a good use case for trying out @evidence.dev. Here you can see the current occupancy of parking garages in various cities in Europe: parkinggarage.evidence.app #DataBS

Ah ok got it - yea if you want to interact with the DuckDB queries on the page the link you shared is the best way. If you have any feedback after trying it out, or suggestions on how we can make it clearer, would love to hear!

You can include a script tag on any markdown page and run arbitrary JS in there. For getting data into evidence, we also have a JS plugin you can use to grab data from APIs: github.com/archiewood/e...

Evidence supports custom JS, HTML, and CSS so you should be able to do almost anything you need. Are there specific things you feel are restricted with it?

A lot of folks might not realize that Tableau and Power BI are soon-to-be legacy software, and data analysts would be better positioned to learn modern tools like evidence.dev #DataViz #databs
evidence.dev
Evidence - Business Intelligence as Code
Evidence is an open source, code-based alternative to drag-and-drop BI tools. Build polished data products with just SQL and markdown.

I often saw the question of whether @duckdb.org runs in production and what the use case would be. With the help of many of you, I explored this over the last few weeks and prepared an extensive guide highlighting real-world DuckDB use cases, categorized into the five categories identified in Part 1

@evidence.dev + cursor is like glimpsing the future you wont drag-and-drop reports, you'll write them as code you wont be in a SaaS platform, you'll work on your machine you wont wait for results, you'll get instant reactivity
