Grafana is much more focused on time series data - Datasette can handle that but it's not nearly as good a fit, since it doesn't do any rollups for you - you'd have to write your own SQL queries to summarize the data.

I imagine you could do that using SQLite window functions but you'd end up putting a lot of work in to get even a basic alternative to Grafana working.

The visualization features in Datasette are all provided by plugins - I'd love to people experiment with time-series visualization plugins which use SQLite (via the Datasette JSON API) on the backend.



How about Apache Superset?

Also, perhaps you could add a comparison between Datasette and existing tools on your webpage.
