DASH:Gen

Turn a CSV into an interactive dashboard, without a BI tool

One file in, one .html file out. It opens in any browser, offline, and you can send it to somebody who has no account anywhere.

Try it — no account needed

What you get

A single .html file: the dashboard and your data together. Open it by double-clicking. Inside are KPI tiles, charts, a filter bar, a searchable data table and cross-filtering — click a bar and every other chart follows. All of it is computed in the browser from the rows embedded in the file.

An HTML dashboard: revenue, units sold and order count tiles, revenue by region as bars, revenue by category as a pie, and revenue over time as a line.
The example dashboard shipped with the window, built from its Sales sample on the same runtime every generated file uses. Open it live, or read the step-by-step guide.

Nothing in the file points anywhere outside it. No CDN, no web fonts, no tracking, no call home. It works on a laptop in aeroplane mode and on a machine behind a firewall that allows nothing, and it will still work years from now, because there is no service for it to depend on.

How it works

  1. Drop the file in. CSV, TSV, plain text, or the gzip form of any of them.
  2. Say what you want to see. One sentence is enough — “revenue by region and the trend by month” tells the agents which columns matter.
  3. Press Generate HTML. Two agents read the columns, decide what is worth measuring, and design the dashboard from it.
  4. Download it. That file is the finished dashboard. There is no next step.

Changing it afterwards

A finished dashboard can be rebuilt into another version without uploading the file again: another theme, a different chart type, or a new instruction. The first two run no agent and cost nothing.

What it reads

Besides CSV and TSV: Excel (.xlsx, .xlsm, .xls), OpenDocument (.ods), JSON, JSON Lines, XML and Parquet. A workbook with several sheets is read one sheet at a time.

What it costs: see the price list. Three dashboards need no account at all.
