❇️ Briefer Launches: Python Notebooks and Dashboards in One Place (Now Open-Source)

❇️ Briefer recently launched!

^{"Create Python notebooks that look like Notion, and publish them as reports or dashboards."}

Founded by Lucas da Costa & Lucas Vieira‍

‍

⭐ Recently the founders launched Briefer's open-source offering.

Briefer is like Notion for code notebooks and dashboards. It gives technical users all the flexibility they need to publish dashboards, analyze data, create reports, and build data apps. At the same time, Briefer makes it easy for non-technical users to view and interact with data.

‍
In Briefer, you can:

• 📚📊 Create notebooks and dashboards using Markdown, Python, SQL, and native visualizations.
• 🤳 Build interactive data apps using inputs, dropdowns, and date pickers.
• 🤖 Generate code and queries using an AI that understands your database schema and your notebook's context.
• 🕰️ Schedule notebooks and dashboards to run and update periodically.
• ⚙️ Create and test ad-hoc pipelines using writebacks.

In addition to all that, Briefer is also multiplayer, meaning two or more people can work on the same notebook or dashboard simultaneously and see each other's changes in real time.

Now, you can use Briefer for free on your machine or deploy it to your own infrastructure so that your whole team can use it and eliminate your data silos.

🍱 What's included in the open-source offering?

‍

Briefer's open-source offering includes everything you need to build notebooks and dashboards, including Markdown, SQL, Python, point-and-click visualizations, scheduled runs, writebacks, and more.

Also, given you'll be running Briefer on your own machines, there's no limit on how many users you can invite, how much memory and compute you can give to your notebooks, and how many pages you can schedule.

The only things that are not in Briefer's open-source offering are PDF exports, granular permissions, and email and Slack integrations. These are available in the paid version of Briefer, for which you can sign up here.

‍

🤔 Why open-source?

The founders want people to have zero barriers to using Briefer, and they believe that making it open-source is the best way to achieve that.

By making Briefer open-source, they're giving you the freedom to run it on your own infrastructure, customize it to your needs, and contribute to its development.

Furthermore, given Briefer will be running on your own machines, you don't have to worry about your data being stored in a third-party service. You have full control over your data.
