I couldn't imagine a better fit than DuckDB for @taleshape.bsky.social:
Shaper is all about using SQL to build data visualizations and sharing them.
There are many databases, but DuckDB and its powerful extension system allow Shaper to query many different data sources, all from a single binary.

@taleshape.bsky.social is open source for one reason:
I am building the tool I wish I had.
I don't want to keep user data in-house and not bother with regulations.
And I never want to worry about integrating analytics too deeply into our product because the vendor might some day raise prices.

I will be speaking at FOSSASIA this year to show how to quickly visualize data entirely in SQL using Shaper and DuckDB!
I had a great time as participant last year:
Great energy and many interesting conversations about what everyone is building in open source - in Asia and around the globe.

Less than 24h after release I already saw people using them for:
- Visualizing medical scores
- Debugging audio translation quality
- Monitoring urban mobility data

Thanks to @duckdb.org macros you just type "BOXPLOT(my_value)" to calculate all statistics - including outliers.

With @taleshape.bsky.social chart annotations are just another SQL query:
You can load calendar events or goal lines from any data source and display them in your charts.
And not only chart annotations - any text, label or dropdown in Shaper can be generated dynamically.

Open Source won.
At least that’s what where my bet is.
Open source is resilient.
Open source is adaptable.
I myself wouldn’t bet my company on a 3rd-party vendor when making fundamental technology choices.
So of course my own product also has to be open source:
