I am building pagebowl: https://www.pagebowl.com/

A lightweight service for instantly hosting HTML, Markdown, and ZIP-based static pages. The goal is to make sharing simple: upload a file, get a live link, and let it expire automatically. The use case I am targeting at is: to allow users to share AI generated files easier and have a place to render and host them for a short period of time.

One thing I’ve been learning is how much faster it feels to build on cloudflare page, worker, and D1 compared to my old way of setting everything up myself with docker, postgres, nginx and etc on hetzner for a small project. (I am not affiliated with any company, product, or organization mentioned above.)

I've continued to work on my open source BI application: https://github.com/shzlw/poli The roadmap is to make it a all-in-one database application!

A little game inspired by the devshop game that I saw here a while ago. You will work as a manager to manage the projects, teams and try to survive in 60 days. Happy holidays!

The main motivation behind the project is that I'd like to have an easy-to-use SQL to Dashboard web application that I can use to solve my own problem. I did try search and use existing BI tools first but found that they are either too complicated to setup/use or the license/fee is not friendly enough. I believe they are designed for more advanced user cases for a good reason and don't seem to suit my simpler needs. Thy's why I build Poli. Yes, I am the solo developer on this project.

I launched a simple mobile BI app before but it didn't get any traction so for Poli, there is no recent plan to make it mobile friendly :(

Thanks. The project is built mainly to solve my own problem that I often receive requests from the business side that they wanna access the data in the production system (We use different RDMS and Elasticsearch) so they can generate some simple charts in Excel and display to the customers. The request is not difficult but we just don't have a system for that. Since then, I have been trying different BI solutions like Power BI, Kibana and some other open source tools. They are either too complicated to setup/use or the license/fee is not friendly enough to me. That's why I build Poli. I want it to be more focusing on easy to use, having an open license and the developer can use SQL to build reports easily for the end users or embed the reports in their systems.

The UI is not configurable at this moment. You can embed the full screen view in an <iframe> and then adjust URL parameters to select which report to load.
