We're finally there: Briefer is now open-source 💚 Briefer is like Notion for code notebooks and dashboards. From today, you can deploy it on your own infrastructure, and use it for free! Now, let me show you 7 cool things about Briefer (😊 number 6 is our favorite) 🧵👇

Before we get started, make sure to give us a star on GitHub - we'd love that! Now, back to all the amazing things you can do in Briefer.

1. Briefer's file tree 🌳 The file tree is where you manage your notebooks and navigate through them. Like in Notion, you can choose icons for each notebook, reorder them, or put one inside another. That way, you can organize your notebooks so they're easy to find

2. Briefer has many types of blocks you can use in your notebooks 🧱 That includes SQL, Python, Text, Writebacks, and point-and-click visualizations. You can also group blocks into tabs to organize your notebook and make it easier to navigate through.

3. Files and databases 📂 If your data is in a database, you can use query blocks to write SQL queries and get the data you need. If you have CSV, parquet or other types of files, you can upload them too. By the way, we turn query results into data frames automatically.

4. AI Assistant 🤖 Whenever you want the AI assistant's help, you can click "edit with AI" and tell it what you want to do. Then, the AI assistant will come up with a suggestion and show you a diff that you can try, accept, or reject. It can also fix errors automatically.

5. Schedules 🕰️ You can schedule your notebooks to run at a specific interval, like every hour, every day, every week, or every month. When creating schedules, you can also set up notifications to receive an email or Slack message when the schedule runs successfully or fails.

6. Notebooks to dashboards 📊 You can use your notebook's outputs to create dashboards. This way, you can share results with others without including unnecessary code or explanations, like when you have to do a lot of data wrangling before plotting a chart.

7. Point and click visualizations 🖱️ You can also use your mouse to create visualizations - zero code required. Briefer's point-and-click visualizations, dashboards, and all the other features make it a perfect replacement for traditional BI tools.

Sounds cool? Well, it's free now - go ahead and try it out. You can go to Briefer's repository at and give it a try. And please, don't forget the ⭐!

Always bet on Briefer
