Hey All,

I've been poking around a bit to find an open source alternative to Tableau - anyone have anything they use? Not sure if folks here just use R but having something easier to navigate for others at my company is something I'm trying to tackle currently and Tableau works great but an open source version would be nice too.

Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan,

I remember seeing something like this being developed and there was a recent release even (maybe a beta), but I can't find it. I think it was based upon Shiny and was an exploratory data analysis platform that could do Tableau-like things. It was early going from what I remember.

Problem is... I can't find it. I remember it being on Twitter. I asked Mara (@dataandme) and she didn't recall, but suggested putting it on the Rstudio Community. So I did that here:
https://community.rstudio.com/t/eda-r-shiny-package/6657

Let's hope someone remembers it better than me.

Brandon

Hi Brandon,
I am not familiar with Tableau, but I assume you are looking for something other than QGIS? I haven't used QGIS for awhile but it is open source and was easy to upload a shapefile or raster and just pan around to check it out. Or even for making simple maps.
