Evidence on Spaces
Evidence is an open-source framework designed for building data-driven applications, reports, and dashboards using SQL and Markdown. With Evidence, you can quickly create decision-support tools, reports, and interactive dashboards without relying on traditional drag-and-drop business intelligence (BI) platforms.
Evidence enables you to:
- Write reports and dashboards directly in Markdown with SQL-backed components.
- Integrate data from multiple sources, including SQL databases and APIs.
- Use templated pages to automatically generate multiple pages based on a single template.
- Deploy reports seamlessly to various hosting solutions.
