Open to trying it out!

Vanna is good for the loading up the schema plus docs into a vector db for RAG part, just the charts part are weaker.

I want the graph part too, that’s where Vanna w/ plotly is failing. It’s not rendering when I use booleans or timestamps and it does scatter plots at inappropriate times

Does this API exist in both the hosted and self-hosted versions?

When reading the docs last week I sometimes got mixed up in what features needed a subscription.

Nice! Hello!

Is the api giving you just the metadata of the metric or also translating to the SQL you’d run to build charts like you do in lightdash itself?

Lightdash may be a good UI option for me, but then I’m defining metrics at the presentation layer and tightly coupled with it.

I’m looking for something to be able to express KPIs centrally and cleanly, and have the BI layer autogenerated from it.

Dbt semantic layer could be that, but doesn’t seem like many open source BI layers support it.

Keep it up!

I’ve never felt motivated by hyping whatever I’m building to peers who’d never be clients/users.

I sold my solution by ignoring the sales rules and just flat out asking “how do you do <process>?” and replying we had an app for that when they outlined their manual process.

I felt dirty not outlining benefits at first, but I later realized this opener was better aligned with my ICP (operations)

My past experiment with a tax form was bad because the LLM used basic OCR instead of something fancier for tables.

And here I’m trying to do something more generic without knowing the form format ahead of time.

Imagine a government form with some weird tabular layout to shove as many fields into a condensed space as possible.

Generalized use case is read/write to forms. Basically reverse engineering a domain model from a form.

Azure DocIntel lets you do it well for a known form via training.

If making zip files named _final-website(2)-final-tuesday-3.zip is too complicated maybe something like dropbox with revision history baked in could work - at least for one file at a time.

That’s ironic but I guess totally expected since it’s their main revenue source hah

#chordle sounded kinda sus

I like hearing “I used X library to do Y and it worked/failed”.

Helps broaden my perspective about what’s out there.

I dislike hearing “do like me and bathe in virgin blood to succeed”.

I don’t know. I’ve been deep in home renos last couple weeks. Haven’t been checking here much!

You’re right, she seems gone!
