Hello, guys~ I recently developed a data exploration and visualization app which can be used as a different type of open-source alternative to Tableau. It is extremely easy to embed in your apps just as a react component. The original purpose is to develop a lite plugin that can be easily embedded in most cases, it doesn't have to be a large BI, but a lite graphic plugin.

GitHub: Kanaries/graphic-walker, https://github.com/Kanaries/graphic-walker

The main features implemented: * A user-friendly drag-and-drop-based interaction for exploratory data analysis with visualizations. * A grammar of graphics-based visual analytic user interface where users can build visualization from low-level visual channel encodings. * A Data Explainer explains why some patterns occur / what may cause them. * Using web workers to handle computation tasks which allows you to use it as a pure front-end app. And you can use it in your app as a react component:h me in github or discord.

Feedbacks and advice are welcome! Discuss with me in github or discord!
