## Overview

Panels is an interactive data analytics platform that enables you to explore datasets through maps, charts, and other visualisations. All data processing happens directly in your browser, so your data remains private and no server connection is required after initial load.

Key capabilities:

* Interactive maps with multiple layers
* Charts and graphs with data tables
* Dynamic filtering through parameters
* Cross-panel interactions and hover synchronisation
* Export visualisations as images or data as CSV
