Show HN: Bricks - One Click Dashboards from Your Data Using AI
Hi HN We've been building Bricks to make dashboard creation as
simple as dropping a file. You upload your data and Bricks does
the rest: * Detects the structure * Picks the most useful charts
and tables * Generates plain language insights and summaries *
Applies a theme * Lets you add blocks using a natural language
prompt * Exports to PDF or shares as a live link We built this
because creating clean dashboards from spreadsheets felt way harder
than it should be. We'd love your feedback on: * How useful the
first dashboard feels * Any missing chart types or formats *
Anything else that could make it better Thanks for taking a look.

| will take this as a push to improve Firefox support soon.
| Appreciate you taking the time to check it out.

| You are right, this is a miss from our side.

| was done, just dropped the file and got this result:
