The Dive Gallery Is Live: Share Your Interactive Data Apps With the World
2026/03/25 - 4 min read
BYA few months ago, we launched Dives : interactive React data apps that run live SQL queries against your MotherDuck data, built by your favorite AI.
Since then, something pretty cool happened. Folks inside MotherDuck started building Dives for everything : internal metrics, data explorations, quick analyses you'd normally throw into a notebook and forget about. But it didn't stop there. Our customers started building incredible Dives too!
And every time someone shared one internally, the reaction was the same: "Wait, can I send this to someone outside the org?"
Today, the answer is yes. The Dive Gallery is live.
Quick refresher: What are dives?
If you missed the original launch, Dives are interactive data applications that live inside MotherDuck. Think of them as lightweight React apps that query your data in real-time using SQL. You just need to prompt what you need through our MCP and the AI will build your dive.
Here's what makes them different from your typical dashboard:
- No Click and drop - your AI does the heavy lifting.
- They're sharable directly to people in your org. Sharing it publicly ? Dive gallery FTW
From private explorations to public sharing
Until now, Dives lived inside your MotherDuck workspace. Great for your team, but not so great when you wanted to show something to the outside world.
The Dive Gallery changes that. You now have two options:
- Share publicly — Your Dive gets a unique URL that anyone on the internet can access. They can interact with it, filter the data, and explore — all without needing a MotherDuck account.
- Share within your org — Make it visible only to people in your MotherDuck organization. Perfect for internal dashboards and team analytics.
How it works
The flow is straightforward:
- Build your Dive in your favorite agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor). Iterate until you are happy with the result and make sure the required database is a public share (select
unrestrictedshare at creation or alter existing share) - Login to motherduck.com/dive-gallery with your MotherDuck account
- Select the dive you want to submit and preview permission (organization only or public)
- Once approved, you'll see your dive in the gallery and can open as a unique link
When someone opens your Dive link, they see a fully interactive data app. They can click filters, sort tables, drill into charts. The queries run live against the data.
But here's the kicker: the person viewing your Dive from the dive gallery doesn't need to set up anything. No database connection. No credentials. No "please install this driver first." They click the link, and it just works.
You're essentially giving someone a window into your data that they can explore on their own terms, powered by MotherDuck compute under the hood.
What people are building
Take a look at some of the Dives already in the Gallery:
DuckDB PyPI Download Stats
388M+ total downloads, refreshed every day. Weekly trends, breakdowns by Python version, DuckDB version, OS — all live. This is the kind of data that usually lives in a stale spreadsheet somewhere. Not anymore.
MotherDuck & DuckDB Quiz
Who said Dives have to be serious? This one is a fun interactive quiz to test your knowledge of DuckDB and MotherDuck — with a bonus "Duck Facts" category for the truly curious. The quiz questions are auto-generated from a MotherDuck table pulling from the docs. Proof that Dives can be anything, not just dashboards.
Dive into Pivoting
This one's wild — a full pivot table and dashboarding tool built entirely as a Dive. Pick any table from your databases, drag columns into rows/columns/values, choose your chart type. It's basically a lightweight BI tool running on MotherDuck compute.
See it in action
Here's a quick demo showing what it looks like to browse a Dive in the gallery, interact with the data, and open the unique full-screen link:
Each of these is a live app. Not just a screenshot! And every single one comes with its own unique URL you can share with anyone.
