Briefer is an open-source collaborative data platform that brings notebooks, dashboards, and interactive data apps into a unified workspace that combines the flexibility of code with the simplicity of visual exploration. It’s designed so technical users can write Markdown, SQL, and Python side by side for data analysis, visualization, and reporting, while non-technical viewers can interact with results through inputs, dropdowns, and date pickers without writing any code. Users work in a Notion-style interface where they can build, organize, and share pages that contain executable code blocks, charts, text explanations, and interactive elements within the same document, enabling rich data storytelling and reproducible analytics. Briefer supports real-time collaboration, meaning multiple teammates can edit the same notebook or dashboard simultaneously and see changes live, which encourages shared analysis and decision making.
