Geckoboard vs Apache Superset: at a glance
What is Geckoboard?
Geckoboard is refining the dashboard itself — more filtering control and faster data.
Geckoboard's recent work targets the mechanics of building and reading dashboards: multi-value GA4 contains filters, cross-object HubSpot filtering, chart granularity decoupled from timespan, configurable week-start, and webhook-driven instant updates for Zendesk agent status. It also shipped a stacked column chart — its first entirely new visualization in years.
What is Apache Superset?
Apache Superset edges 6.1.0 toward release as helm packaging ships steadily
Superset's public changelog is dominated by release-candidate voting for 6.1.0 and routine helm-chart packaging bumps. The 6.1.0 line has moved through three release candidates since March, following the 6.0.1 patch in February. No major feature lands in this window; the visible activity is release mechanics, not product change.

Geckoboard is refining the dashboard itself — more filtering control and faster data.
◆ Current state
Geckoboard's recent work targets the mechanics of building and reading dashboards: multi-value GA4 contains filters, cross-object HubSpot filtering, chart granularity decoupled from timespan, configurable week-start, and webhook-driven instant updates for Zendesk agent status. It also shipped a stacked column chart — its first entirely new visualization in years.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is steady refinement of the core dashboarding surface rather than expansion into new product areas. Most releases give analysts finer control over how existing metrics are filtered, bucketed, and refreshed — closing small gaps power users hit daily.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the same: incremental filtering, visualization, and integration-freshness improvements. The single new chart type may signal appetite for more visualizations, but the entries don't confirm a broader push.

Apache Superset edges 6.1.0 toward release as helm packaging ships steadily
◆ Current state
Superset's public changelog is dominated by release-candidate voting for 6.1.0 and routine helm-chart packaging bumps. The 6.1.0 line has moved through three release candidates since March, following the 6.0.1 patch in February. No major feature lands in this window; the visible activity is release mechanics, not product change.
◆ Where it's heading
The cadence points to 6.1.0 nearing a general-availability vote, with the helm chart tracking each version for Kubernetes deployment. Expect the RC sequence to converge on a final 6.1.0 cut.
◆ Prediction
A 6.1.0 GA release and a matching helm chart bump are the most likely next entries.
