This is quite an interesting project for me, as I started using Superset
during its early days though not very frequently. One of the things that
immediately attracted me was the ability to create dashboards that was
something I really enjoyed exploring and experimenting with visualising
data.

I noticed that some of the dashboards I had created in the early stages
were later removed, possibly due to updates or changes in the service but I
still remember it was good.

Hope to see this idea continue in some way whether through community
support or future tools :)
