Ah ok got it - yea if you want to interact with the DuckDB queries on the page the link you shared is the best way. If you have any feedback after trying it out, or suggestions on how we can make it clearer, would love to hear!

You can include a script tag on any markdown page and run arbitrary JS in there. For getting data into evidence, we also have a JS plugin you can use to grab data from APIs: github.com/archiewood/e...

Evidence supports custom JS, HTML, and CSS so you should be able to do almost anything you need. Are there specific things you feel are restricted with it?

We're excited to publicly share the Evidence Roadmap!

- Custom Themes & Dark Mode (Shipped!)
- Pivot Table & SQL Console
- Cross Filters & Sharable Links
- Prop Autocomplete
- Deploy Previews & Email Notifications
- Multi Tenant Config & RLS
