Kurt Buhler explains a new capability:
For years, the Power BI community has been clamoring to have native support for visuals-as-code; the ability to create visuals, pages, or even entire dashboards with libraries like Vega, and D3.js. This is now possible in Microsoft Fabric with Fabric Apps, specifically, using a data app.
A Fabric App is a new item type that lets you create and distribute any interactive experiences in Fabric, rather than pre-defined reports, dashboards, and data agents. These are web applications (or webapps). A webapp is any program that runs in a browser (like YouTube, Facebook, or Microsoft Word’s online editor) instead of one that you install on your computer (like Power BI Desktop or Microsoft Word).
