The problem is always this project turns into “let’s build excel or tableau” and the customers that care usually already use one or the other.

That's fair, but fortunately I'm not planning on doing either. (Well, I am still implementing ~all of Excel's formulas for compatibility, but not the the UI/UX...)

People don't really consume data, they read documents. I think that's (part of) the vision these projects lack.

I'm working on an OSS BI tool focused on a document form factor. Might be of interest to you. https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence

Thank you! Definitely interesting! I had actually starred that repo when I saw it being discussed on some HN thread a week or two ago

Yeah, I misread the post I replied to: I’ve been on a bunch of internal dashboard projects that were in danger of losing focus and turning into full-fledged visualization platforms.
