Make money with it

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Build internal dashboards for sales, stock or finance figures instead of paying for per-seat business intelligence licences
- Offer clients a custom, interactive reporting dashboard as part of a freelance data service
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Install it with pip from PyPI, then write a Python script that defines the layout and callbacks and run it locally.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Requires Python programming knowledge, so it is not suitable for non-coders
- Open-source version runs locally; sharing apps across a company needs your own hosting or the paid Dash Enterprise product
