| Hi HN, I’m Ben, one of the founders of Equals. My co-founder and I started Equals to build the data tool we always wished we had as part of the early Intercom team. We found no matter which new BI tool we adopted, we’d ultimately end up back in a spreadsheet. Yet, we’d then come back to the BI tool for easy access to live data. So - Equals is a spreadsheet with live data. Equals has native connections to databases, data warehouses, and other data sources. You can write SQL directly in the spreadsheet to pull in data from your database, or you can write Python/Javascript to pull data from any API. We launched the core Equals product about a year ago. Today we’re launching Dashboards. With Dashboards you can hook in multiple data sources at once and build charts and tables that auto-expand. As your data updates, so does your spreadsheet and dashboard. We believe this is the simplest and most flexible tool for founders to stay on top of their business. We’re still super early and so would love to hear your feedback on the product. Ben |
I loaded in around 100k rows and performance was fantastic.
I think the only feature so far I haven't found is whether there is a way to join tables together in the app. With SFDC particularly it doesn't seem to have an option to write the SOQL query directly, and I can't access relationships with the field builder, so I have no easy way to do a client side join (apart from a ton of VLOOKUPs which is not ideal)
I do love how calculated columns stay even after I re-query the source data, that and the auto-expanding are killer features.
Super exciting product, very polished, I can't wait to see where it goes.
PS. $18/mo for the pro version with scheduled queries is an absolute steal
