We'll be providing short user training videos very soon.

#17I really need a great data explorer/dashboard for my postgres-based systems. I was going to use shiny but this looks really nice -- I hope the docs can be built out very soon. Can anyone comment on other competing products? In the commercial space, I like Looker but its too pricey.
Hey! I run marketing for Periscope Data, a data explorer/dashboard product. We have a lot of customers using postgres and get compared to Looker a lot. We focus on optimizing for the analyst whereas tools like Looker focus on business users. We have a lot of features for business users, but chart creation is all SQL based.
Our site is here: https://www.periscopedata.com/ and if you have any questions, shoot me an email at jon@periscopedata.com.

Piwik is more of a Google Analytics replacement. It's a package that contains a data visualization platform, a data storage engine, and a data emitter (website tag) all in one.
This is just a data visualization platform. You need to bring your own data store and data.

As someone who is the core audience for this tool can I say that I strongly prefer clear documentation over videos? Videos are way too hard to maintain and end up being stale the minute after you post them in fast-moving projects. I can't text-search a video and I can't be linked directly to an answer in a StackOverflow response.
Written documentation is vastly superior to videos in my opinion.

Take a look to http://www.metabase.com/ (open source, made by Expa, Uber's co-founder incubator).
