I'm a fan of your work! We use Metabase pretty frequently.
The only nitpicks I have are around the concept of Metrics (still not quite sure what those are or how they're useful for me) and the initial download size of the libraries takes quite a while (especially over unstable VPN links)
I'm wondering if there's a way to have an option where it tries an external CDN first and then falls back to loading from the hosting server.
Thanks for following up! Here's some of things that tripped me up:
1. The lack of in depth docs.
2. The set up and usage of metrics was focusing. This was the main use case I was hoping Metabase could help me with, and it felt like an addon feature.
3. For whatever reason, managing dashboards was really confusing, and the UI [1] didn't seem to match the docs.
Why do charts with dates on the x-axis not show up correctly? For example the chart will show Jan 2019 on the label underneath a column that is actually Feb 2019. This is confusing to new users and drives experienced users up the wall. Currently the only thing that fixes it is to convert the axis to categorical.
