External Development IDE, Lots of Blobby, Moving Dashboard Filters, Localization, SQL Preamble, and 15 (!!!) More
October 3, 2025
Monster week across developer experience, AI, visualization, embed, and more!
Omni IDE Native in Claude Code
External Development IDEWe're working on bringing the develop experience anywhere you are. Here we show some model building in a branch using Claude Code. Soon you'll be able to develop in Omni in whatever development environment you prefer.
Blobby Learns Planning Checklists
Now when Blobby builds query plans, you'll see a full breakdown of queries and Blobby will check-off tasks as they are completely. The goal is just better control and insight into the querying process for AI.
Blobby Session Sharing Improvements
Now you can quickly re-run queries from AI sessions you share or return too. We also polished up the sidebar experience for finding any of your previous chats.
Blobby Writes a 500 Join Query
We hope you never do this, but sometimes it's fun to test the bounds of the app and Blobby. Here Blobby writes a 500 join query without sweating.
New Dash Almost Launch
Sections and Moveable FiltersWe're nearing the launch of flexible dashboard filters, the first of many pieces of work to more completely customize the full dashboard experience.
Localization First Look
First look at a fully localized Omni dashboard. More to do, but great progress.
SQL Preamble
You can now run arbitrary command in the database prior to queries. This opens up all sorts of custom workflows including UDFs or custom user variables.
Fast, Performant Giant Vis
We're getting close to rolling out an overhaul to our rendering experience for vis that massively improves performance on the largest queries.
Map Region Backgrounds
We add custom background so your shapefiles can be more clear in empty zones if you'd prefer.
Bullet Charts
We're adding new code for a pair of bullet visualization implementations - one in Vega that we demo here and another beautiful example with markdown.
Custom Trendline Colors
Nearing the completion of our major vis refactor, but added a bit more functionality to customize trend lines.
Query Performance Analytics
We added a new dashboard to analytics with a full breakdown of query performance for much better understanding of end user experience and where to focus developer effort.
Sharing Ephemeral Spreadsheets Via URL
Now when end users take advantage of dynamic spreadsheets on dashboards, they can be shared in their edited state.
Drill Embed Event
We added a custom event for developers to capture drill events and build any customization desired.
More App CSS Theming
Continuing the build out of custom theming across the entire app. Here we demo some custom sidebars.
Custom Unnested JSON Field Naming and Better Schema Refresh
Pair of demos. First, some work to give more control over names for fields from nested JSON. Second, bit of tune up to the schema refresh to make it simpler.
Grab Gab of New Docs
We landed a bunch of new docs this week on everything from mustache to email user attributes to APIs to SCIM.
