    Why not use Vega-Lite[0]? It’s my go-to data viz DSL with Claude.

      There are quite a few libraries for charts and visualization, there are not as many for actually combining many of them with layouts, different components and including the actual implementation of the backend. Dac aims to provide all that as a standard and an implementation.

    Consider adding that snazzy gif in the README to the docs landing page. I went straight to the docs and then hunted for a screenshot to no avail.

      That's a great idea, will do very quickly, thanks!

    I reckon this is a simplification of existing BIAC tools (eg, https://github.com/lightdash/lightdash)

      Partly, yes. It is a simplification with the perspective that the agents would be the primary builders.

    The blurb about this is repeated several times but it is unclear to me what it actually does.

      You write a few lines of YAML or JSX and you get a dynamic, interactive dashboard out of it. Do you have any suggestions on how to make it simpler?

    DaC might be more distinguishable from DAC, although the context obviously also helps readers telling them apart.

    Yours sincerely, came here for another DAC

    Might want to add how this compares to other products in the space.

    Some that come to mind that are potentially tangentially related/similar:
