         | Hi! Yeah, you could use it as a simple business intelligence,
         | we use Vega (https://vega.github.io/vega-lite) to create
         | visualizations and it's kind of can visualize anything

       | As a current Looker power-user, this looks really solid.
       | 
       | One thing I'm not sure about though: can you use the metrics
       | outside of the native tool, and if so how?
       | 
       | That is, I see Looker as a BI tool, not a metrics layer, since
       | you mainly use the metrics you define inside Looker, not in other
       | tools. On the other hand, something like MetriQL[0] is a pure
       | metrics layer that can supposedly be used anywhere.
       | 
       | Is this both? If so, some better documentation around how to use
       | the metrics layer would be helpful (or maybe I just didn't look
       | in the right place).

         | Cube.js is an open-source analytics framework so you could use
         | it without MLCraft, of course.

         | 
         | Yeah, we provide a tool and bunch of must-have features for the
         | metrics store, but the query layer is still cube.js

         | 
         | we're working on the documentation and it will be published
         | soon. Stay tuned.

         | Thanks for the reply! Ivan
