What is the proposed idea/solution?

We need the ability to make more robust charts in interfaces. How about bringing something like the vegalite extension to interfaces? PLEASE

How does it solve the user problems?

Basic visualizations like overlaying a line and bar chart can't be done, but vegalite can do things like that and much more.

Who is the target audience?

Anyone who wants to have robust data visualization in their interface

The charting blocks are really very limited; sometimes so much so that they are not usable.  The vega-lite extension is sooooooooooo much more powerful.

Airtable doesn't seem to care to do updates or keep up with this board

Couldn't agree more.  Getting BETTER data OUT of airtable via graphs/charts must be a critical objective from Airtable.  Today - I'm having to export all data into metabase to do the graphing I need, and that's a PITA.

Plus + on this. Odd not to see functionality to add the Vega-lite charts to interfaces. May also help to move to JSON v5 with Vega-lite. Looks like Airtable is still using JSON v4.

Agree on supporting Vega-lite in Interfaces - but only if it supports the full capability of vega-lite.  The current Extensions capability is limited again in the area of Grouping - a common charting need.

It's really disappointing not being able to create comparison charts, where are the steroids of airtable?
