#42Cool stuff. Just curious- how does it stack against Metabase ( https://www.metabase.com/product/ ) for example? I used Metabase a few years back and was really blown away with the ease of use.
This seems more of an end-to-end system including etl job scheduling, data loading and local storage.

#43The dream of no code lives on. I’ve tried many no code tools over the decades. As an individual and as a group. Ease of use is really important. But I think easy for Python programmers is better than easy for people to click. Logic is logic, so whether you program in code or via some wack gui, you still need programmers. Every time it’s come down to regretting committing to a closed, proprietary “programming language…
No-code BI and ETL tools are intended mainly as a replacement for Excel, not a replacement for Python. If you are an accomplished Python programmer, you might code a solution or (e.g. if you want to do something ad hoc quickly) use a no-code tool. If you aren't a programmer, your choice is typically: learn Python, use Excel, wait for a programmer to do it for you or use a no-code tool. A no-code tool will often be by…
TABLUM.IO simplifies data extraction/load/import from files, web and databases. You can load data from postgres, json file and application API, then merge data into a single table, display as a sheet and draw a chart for it. Wheres it is almost impossible with Excel or GoogleSheet.

Perhaps, depending on your definition of programmers, but lots of people can use logic. An accountant making complex calculations and forecasts in Excel is surely just as logic and precise as a programmer hacking something together in Python.

#45Not to be flippant, but in what way is Excel not a no-code / self-service BI / Data Analytics tool? Or where Google Sheets is heading? Serious question. The average non-technical user goes first to Excel or Excel-like things.

#46No information on pricing and social only logins? I was interested in this product, but no thanks. At the very least if you're not ready to commit you could provide "beta" pricing for a year until you get that figured out.
+1. Given that prices for products in this space range over several orders of magnitude, I wouldn't spend time evaluating without knowing whether my budget is even in the same ballpark. Would I expect to spend $1k annually? $10k? $100k? More?

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
There's also Google login, do you have gmail? Is it OK to log in via a corporate gmail?
Outlook is bigger than Google for corporate email. I would suggest adding that (or better yet, listen to the other feedback and allow a standard email login flow).

We're running a low-code internal tool builder and everything is built / configured with code, but you never start from scratch, so it's 50x more productive then building your own.

#49Good luck. I previously worked for a BI company. It's an extremely crowded space.

There’s a difference between being able to program (everyone) and being a professional programmer.
It’s like everyone can cook dinner but not all can be a chef. This doesn’t mean the solution is microwaveable meals for everyone.
