Databricks has recently announced that Unity Catalog is now open source.

Did you know Power BI Mobile apps support datasets?
You can refresh the dataset on the go. Another helpful feature is getting a push notification if a dataset refresh fails. In my practice, customers do not often use Power BI Mobile, but it is slowly changing. #PowerBI
