This looks a bit like https://metabase.com -- anyone used both and can make a comparison?

Metabase is much more for data visualization. As far as I know it doesn't really have any ETL features.

I could actually see this being pretty useful as an ETL layer to go along with Metabase if someone were trying to build a free/open source BI stack.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

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 Spanish is Piña

equally as bold, and also incorrect: ananá is what you'll hear in Argentina, possibly elsewhere.

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 al…

For Electron signing we use Tucows Code signing certs (you need to register as Tucows auther for free) which are provided by Comodo for $140 for 2 years. Didn't have any issues besides getting a proper CI/CD process running.

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.

We call pineapple juice 'ananassap' in Dutch and sometimes use it as if it would be an English word as a joke.

Ok, but why did you name it after pineapples?

Ananas, Analytics made easy :) Pineapple was cool too. Will probably change it if we see more comments ;)

No just keep it. Its fun and why has the name to be an existing English word?

Fun fact: if everybody starts using it, it will eventually become proper English.
