# Insights
Insights is a tool to visually explore a PostgreSQL database, with an emphasis on generating graphs that show business performance over time.
Think of Google Data Studio or Google Looker, but totally free, self-hosted and without the "Google" part.
See a [**live demo**](https://demo.insights.sh/) for Widgets Inc, a fictional e-commerce site.
## Important Disclaimer and Security Notice!
Please be aware that is an extremely early BETA release of Insights, which has not gone through any kind of security audit.
Use on a live server at your own risk!
## Installing
To install, make sure you have Node 10+ installed and then run:
```
npm install -g insights
insights init
insights start
```
This creates a folder `.insights` which contains all the config and runtime data.
## Implemented Features
* Self Hosted, installed via NPM
* PostgreSQL connection support
* Auto-detect your database schema, including all foreign keys!
* Connect to multiple databases
* Edit the schema and add custom SQL fields right there in the interface!
* Create subsets of your data (e.g. share only a few fields with marketing)
* Data explorer
* Filters on the data
* Time-based graphs
* Split the graph by some column (e.g. new users by country name)
* Keyboard navigation in the sidebar
* Saved views
* Pinned fields
## Coming Soon
* Embed React or components and get data through the insights API
* Decent mobile support
* Log in with your Google Account
* Manage users in the interface
* Access control for subsets
* PDF and XLSX exports
* Way more and better graphs
* View generated SQL
