We use DuckDB WASM with parquet to build dashboards in-browser. It's cool to be able to write SQL directly in a browser and not have to rely on REST/Graphql/etc to access the data layer.

curious if you're using something mostly-out-of-the-box to layer on visualizations for your dashboards?

relatively new to duckdb, love it so far, looking at alternatives for downstream visualization. so far just exporting datasets and piping into python scripts.

I do something similar and just use echarts. Very happy with it.

For a schema-first (vs. code first) approach (which I think would be a sweet spot for agent driven dashboarding), I'd suggest looking at https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/ or https://vega.github.io/vega/. A little higher level than full D3 but gives you a little higher level approach.
