This looks good. One of your competitors charges about $4,000 per seat per year so this seems to be a good space. If you add the possibility of building user defined nodes with Python you’d have a solid product.

#12Looks great to me. Nice job shipping!

#13My 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.
Delighted that this is one of the first comments! :) The product was designed to make analytics easy. We found that the word Analytics is not easy to pronounce too. So we decided to make the word analytics easy too! But thanks for your comments, we will consider about it.
If you want to be cheeky, CONCAT(SUBSTR('analyst', 1, 4), 'desktop') is available for a .com domain.

I think the name and logo are nice (pineapple database right?) but agree that it's both difficult to spell and pronounce (particularly for people who refer to them as "pineapples"). If you want to be cheeky, CONCAT(SUBSTR('analyst', 1, 4), 'desktop') is available for a .com domain.

We will release a user-defined function with Javascript in next release. Python is on the roadmap too.

#18Does this have any sort of hinting for indexed queries at all? I would worry that a beginner would create a horrid mess of queries that could consume all available resources.

Will you have a server too? Another issue is scheduling, triggers, etc.. You are in this strange space between Excel and “enterprise” ETL like Talend. We are so frustrated with the current poor state of data prep that we went to Python based workflows with the idea of scheduling, triggering, via Airflow. Seems to work well so far. But your IDE for data prep is a bit better positioned than what we use now (Jupyter).
