Sorry to hear that (I'm the UX guy at MB). Would appreciate your thoughts/feedback on any specifics you want to share. Thanks!

Thanks for following up! Here's some of things that tripped me up: 1. The lack of in depth docs. 2. The set up and usage of metrics was focusing. This was the main use case I was hoping Metabase could help me with, and it felt like an addon feature. 3. For whatever reason, managing dashboards was really confusing, and the UI [1] didn't seem to match the docs. [1] I was using the mac version.

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback.

Just FYI, about 1/3 of the way down your Getting Started page[0] it has a broken link[1] to the fifa2019.csv file. The first link on the page is valid[2], but the second one leads to a 404 due to pointing to .../raw/... rather than .../blob/...

I would recommend code-signing the build before distributing.

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've submitted a response on GitHub.

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?

No. Code signing is very different. Checksum would only work for developers on linux. Without code signing certificate, MacOS would straight refuse to run the app and windows will show an 'Unverified publisher' warning. Also things like auto-updates do not work on either platform unless you code sign your binaries.

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 my project (quarkjs.io), I went for https://comodosslstore.com . They have the cheapest certificates I could find (at ~75USD), also they are the only ones issuing certificates for individual developers.
