About Holistics
Holistics keeps converting GUI-only BI objects into code, one class at a time.
The recent window moved custom charts into AML so they can be defined as code, built through a GUI and previewed against real data, and gave every file — dashboards, models, datasets — its own version timeline with per-file restore that does not revert anyone else's work. Smaller quality-of-life work landed alongside: theme-level color palettes, date-range presets and typed shorthands, chart suggestions in Explore, and custom currency and unit formats.
