Nice to see another PDX company get funded, quite a big seed as well! Curious if you guys use proprietary graphing libraries or wrap something like d3 in custom skins.
We do use D3 under the hood.

#12Seems like the UI borrows super heavily from Invision.

#13Congrats to the reflect team, great to see the journey from TechStars to seed round.
Thanks. We're just getting started!

We're fans of Invision + elements of material design. Some inspiration there for sure.

#15Feeling better about opting for a statistics and data analysis engineering degree instead of a software engineering one.
As someone who has 2 engineering degrees and just finished a code school, how can I sell myself as though I had one of those?

#16Whow, great to see a fellow Techstars company ranking on Hnews :)

#17Congrats on the funding. The product looks really appealing.
I'm curious about the typical (expected) use case for something like this. I would think a lot of large-scale data consumers would already be using an end-to-end solution that includes at least halfway decent visualization tools - whether it's Tableau or ELK/Elastic.
Will customers be more likely to be smaller businesses who right now have limited data viz tools? Or developers who need to make something quick and dirty and don't want to wade through d3? Or existing customers of major data platforms who aren't happy with the visualization they provide? Or something else entirely?

Thanks!
Great question! We're different than other tools because we're an ingredient component that developers add to their applications and services (Tableau + others are standalone tools).
We're working with larger companies, like Simply Measured, who are using Reflect to power their customer-facing products.
Most companies (large or small) don't have the core competency for data visualization in-house -- Reflect helps fill that gap.

#19Seems kind of similar to https://github.com/Polychart (which unfortunately went defunct)

#20Looks great. What DBs are supported? Can't find that anywhere in the docs.
