We just landed geo dimensions in @RillData - returns uniform geojson compatible coordinates regardless of backend db. Now to have some fun on the frontend side! github.com/rilldata/rill/pul…

Childish Gambino dropping a rock album? I'd mess with that.

TONIGHT join us for the best happy hour of #DataAISummit, we'll be hosting @LloydTabb, founder of Looker and creator of @MalloyDev, for a fireside chat at Stable Cafe in SF. Nearly 100 RSVPs have poured in, there's still time to join us for drinks & discussion in the cafe's secret garden: rilldata.com/events/data-tal… We'll be dishing on all things data, including the latest news about Tabular's $1B acquisition, DuckDB's big 1.0 milestone, and Cube.js' $25M fundraise.

Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward. We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans.

Amazing to watch @helldivers2 implode in real time over this PSN fiasco. Such a shame, it was a great game

Dashboard sprawl sucks. Ironically, too many dashboards is actually worse than having too few. Why? Here’s a short 🧵…

Ready, set, action 🎬 Based on the 1991 original hit from Lotus, we’re super proud to introduce pivot tables to Rill! While we could have built flashy visualization types that tickle the dopamine pathways of your brain, instead we built… tables 🤯

I recently joined @ericdodds and @KostasPardalis on The Data Stack Show to chat OLAP engines and BI. Here the tl;dr of what I said to save you 57 minutes of your life: * Long live OLAP - Fast OLAP engines make dashboards awesome; but scaling up OLAP is hard (c.f. @ClickHouseDB , @druidio , @startreedata , @motherduck ). * MOAR SQL - SQL belongs *everywhere* in the data stack: ETL pipelines, database, semantic layer, and even in the dashboard. * AI writes BI-as-code: In a world where AI writes our code (hello Devin), a code-first products present an unreasonably effective interface. * 3 Generations of BI: The data powering BI tools has evolved from desktop (CSVs), to cloud databases (Snowflake), to now serverless object stores (Iceberg). If you want to listen to the long form version, Kostas and Eric asked some great questions... it was fantastic being a guest and check out some of the other shows (most notably @wesmckinn a few episodes back): datastackshow.com/podcast/ol…

Fast databases like @ClickHouseDB deserve fast dashboards. We're excited to announce that as of our 0.41 release, @RillData dashboards can now run on @ClickHouseDB. With this live connector, ClickHouse users can instantly transform any table into an exploratory dashboard, with a single click. More details for how to try it yourself are here: rilldata.com/blog/operationa…

Dang, the folks at @RillData really did it with the tables 😍

I just recommended a friend to evaluate PowerBI. I wonder if this is the first sign of turning middle-aged and conservative...

Environment specific templating is soon coming to @RillData via github.com/rilldata/rill/pul… Run down-sampled datasets on local and full datasets in Rill Cloud or override whatever property you can think of. Feedback welcome! #RillData #Rill #opensource

.@RillData operational BI vision really resonates with me: beautiful, immersive, SQL-driven BI-as-code. 😍 Sneak peek into a PR in the works. On the picture: instant queries on a dataset of 480,933,298,381 (half a trillion) records in @ClickHouseDB 🚀github.com/rilldata/rill/pul…

@RillData talking at @fosdem about the Rill Data platform and how it’s using DuckDB.

DuckCon about to kick off and the room is filling up. Excited for a day of interesting talks #duckcon

Rill Developer and Dagster are still my favorite tools; running on top of DuckDB, it's a blast to use. Currently building my personal finance dashboard, reading from exported CSV, and categorizing groups of transactions in main and subcategories. GH: github.com/sspaeti-com/perso…

We are thrilled to sponsor @duckdb's 4th #DuckCon next week! If you're planning to be there, give a 👋 to @medriscoll, @NishantBangarwa, @mindspank, and other members of the Rill engineering and product team.
