+[Rill] is an open-source operational BI framework for effortlessly transforming
+data sets into powerful, opinionated dashboards using SQL.
+
+Unlike most BI tools, Rill comes with its own embedded in-memory database. Data
+and compute are co-located, and queries return in milliseconds. So you can pivot,
+slice, and drill-down into your data instantly.
+
+Rill takes a modern approach to Business Intelligence (BI), which is starting to
+leverage software engineering principles by implementing the concept of BI as
+code.
+
+This methodology allows for versioning and tracking, thus improving collaboration
+on BI projects using code, which is more efficient and scalable than traditional
+BI tools, also breaking down information and knowledge barriers.
+
+**Rill's design principles**
+
+- **Feels good to use** – powered by Sveltekit & DuckDB = conversation-fast, not
+  wait-ten-seconds-for-result-set fast
+- **Works with your local and remote datasets** – imports and exports Parquet and
+  CSV (s3, gcs, https, local)
+- **No more data analysis "side-quests"** – helps you build intuition about your
+  dataset through automatic profiling
+- **No "run query" button required** – responds to each keystroke by re-profiling
+  the resulting dataset
+- **Radically simple interactive dashboards** – thoughtful, opinionated, interactive
+  dashboard defaults to help you quickly derive insights from your data
+- **Dashboards as code** – each step from data to dashboard has versioning, Git
+  sharing, and easy project rehydration
+
+**Resources**
