# Turn Your DuckDB Projects Into Interactive Dashboards

DuckDB is awesome and it's a great tool to explore and transform data.
But DuckDB doesn't help you visualize and share data with others.

That's where Shaper comes in.

With Shaper you can build interactive dashboards completely in SQL.

Shaper is built on top of DuckDB and works with all your existing data and queries.

Running Shaper on your laptop is as easy as running a single command:
```sh
npx shaper
```

Then open [http://localhost:5454/new](http://localhost:5454/new) in your browser:

And running Shaper on a server is just as simple:

[Deploy To Production](https://taleshape.com/shaper/docs/deploy-to-production)

You can then connect Shaper directly to your [production data](https://taleshape.com/shaper/docs/connecting-to-data-sources/) and share dashboards either with simple [links](https://taleshape.com/shaper/docs/public-sharing/) or by [embedding](https://taleshape.com/shaper/docs/dashboard-embedding) dashboards directly into your application.

It's all open source and free to use. So why not give it a try?
