The latest test-iteration of Metabase (Metabase 0.32 - RC1) is out and I’m especially excited about the proposed Module drivers ability (GitHub pull request #9087) which sounds like there’s a new Metabase drivers (plugins) “store” or “market” on the horizon… There are so many talented Metabase programmers and developers out there who surely could provide unique and imaginative add-ons to an already phenomenal open source BI tool!
That said, there are several basics that would (in my opinion) make Metabase ever so much more user-friendly per the referenced GitHub Issues & Pulls below often mentioned under diverse subject lines in this Discussion Forum:
