Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

I looked it up, I get it, but this post and the site, are targeting English speaking.

Well, or they just want everyone to be able to access it? There is really no choice than to publish something like this in English. Just a guess, but I'd guess the amount of people ccessing it who are not native English speakers is larger than those who are.

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.

Who said it was made by an English speaker...?

Typical. Smh.

I appreciate the push for tolerance behind your comment, but being snide doesn't help. Please don't on HN.

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.

woah, that is steep. who is this competitor?

Probably Informatica or Talend which are two of the most popular Enterprise ETL tools.

I would recommend code-signing the build before distributing.

I'm not super familiar with code signing, but if alternatives are expensive, could OP maintain a checksum value on their download page rather than go with DigiCert or alternative services? Or does code-signing solve a different problem?

Alteryx would be my guess.

Interesting enough both ananas here and Alteryx use a declarative approach. Alteryx is using XML and Ananas YAML
