I would recommend code-signing the build before distributing.

Thanks for your feedback, we will look for some affordable code-signing certificates. Any suggestions? By the way, here is the issue link: https://github.com/ananas-analytics/ananas-desktop/issues/61

I set up code signing for an electron app relatively recently. Best option I could find was Digicert. Really sucks that this stuff is necessary nowadays and not free, but it's not so bad.

That's for Windows - for Mac you'll also need an Apple developer account, afaik they're the only people who can issue certs.

EDIT: Woah, I take that back. Digicert has now gone up from $74/year to $474/year, which is crazy. I now also need a new certificate provider...

My unprofessional professional opinion. The product looks great, but the name has to go. I can't imagine pronouncing that, let alone communicating it over a phone. Any simple word before analytics would be better. Edit: pineapplytics is the obvious cute and available one, however may still be difficult to communicate.

Fun fact: Only the English language calls the fruit "pineapple", almost every other language calls it "ananas" or similar.

The Guardian made a helpful infographic a little while back about exactly this: https://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2...

That's not true. In my native language it is called "pynappel".

EDIT: I guess that may be why you said "almost" but that, in turn, is almost impossible.

I really loved the name, but there was a bit of disconnect because I thought something named pineapple would lead me to a more exciting, artsy page.

That's a bit bold statement... In Spanish is Piña and in Portuguese is Abacaxi, but a good amount of laguanges does call it ananas

In Portugal Portuguese it's Ananás.

I think this is also true in the Spanish dialects spoken in many regions.

Parent commenter linked to their GitHub repo. Redash is open source under the terms of the two-clause BSD license. (Maybe they edited to add link, maybe you overlooked it?)

Oh, sorry about that, my bad. I just looked through redash home page, but didn't find the open source link

The Github link is in the footer of the site, but the icon is very small.
