What is Apache Superset?

Apache Superset is a data exploration and visualisation web application that its README says can replace or add to proprietary business intelligence tools. It offers a no-code chart builder, a web SQL editor, a light semantic layer, many chart types from bar charts to maps, and works with nearly any SQL database that has a Python driver.
