Looks good. In early stage teams it's easier to teach teams the tool you use because this way they can dive deeper. The teams I worked with were keen to learn GA and analytics as it helps them for personal growth.
At another startup, over the weekend, we connected tableau to our DB (which was also pulling in mixpanel via API) and scheduled reports to be sent to every employee.
I like the idea of live data which can be a dashboard of sorts, as to how I can see myself using it. Connect your data source (eg segment) -> Use prebuilt queries -> it gives an overview dashboard which can be sent to everyone as a report in email every morning -> If people are reading it, makes your job easier. (of course, use it as a live source for wherever and whenever people open it.) makes all the meetings and discussions easier.
This looks great!
I applied to YC almost a decade ago with a company called LiveDocs. Didn't get in at the time (I applied again w/ a different name), but glad there's finally a LiveDocs in YC :)
This is a really good idea! The power of editable documents combined with custom blocks that react to live data.
Quick question: how do you plan to compete with existing platforms like Notion and Coda? For them, this could be just another block element type that they could ship with minimal effort?
Great idea! Since you're already integrated with Google sign on, you should consider building a Workspace app and get into the marketplace: https://workspace.google.com/marketplace
You could integrate directly into Drive so customers can create LiveDocs from Drive, and get marketing exposure in the marketplace.
You chose to call them live documents and seem to veer away from dashboard idea. It's cool to export 'reports' to whatever channel I'm interested in communicating over, but I wonder if you plan to offer a more Dashboard type view as well? I could see building a custom dashboard with your tools and have it look less 'documenty' for lack of a better word.
Looks great! Integration with Excel seems to be missing and is what I’d need to use it. Do you have any plans to integrate Excel soonish?
Beyond that, integrations with CRMs like Salesforce could also be really powerful for a too like this.
Also, have you considered integrating with a tool like Zapier rather than integrating directly with each app to accelerate the number of apps you’re integrated with?
Awesome, I’m actually spending the weekend building a personal project that’s very similar. Right now it goes from 3rd party api > database > website that presents all the data with chart.js
I’ve spent quite a few hours on it and am nowhere near done. Looks like this will save people some serious time. 1-click live data entry is a really powerful selling point.
Congrats on the launch, this looks great! I've been looking for something like this for sharing metrics internally. Will give it a try.
Looks great but being able to use data from an API or SQL query is essential for any use-case I have right now.
Love this!! Does this actually replace the entire data stack for early teams? except Segment I suppose
Super cool tool! I noticed the Twitter template for example was only for your own account. Is there a plan in the future to create one for tracking lists or hashtags?
How is this different from Coda? Our team has a Coda doc that connects to Jira and GitHub to pull live data on open tickets/PRs.
Congrats on the launch. This looks super cool.
This is one of the goals I have for https://active-mdx.soederpop.com https://github.com/soederpop/active-mdx. With this you can turn a collection of markdown into a graphql database and more.
let me know if you need help!
you can do this today with Jupyter Notebooks. Can you provide a value prop vis-a-vis Jupyter Notebooks? (aside of course from the raging dumpster fire of lack of curation in JN re vulns...)
I am utterly shocked it has taken this long for something like this to come around. Direct integration of data flows into document processing has been an obvious next-step-up for any kind of scalable document production/management framework for at least the past few years. The amount of time I have to spend on a regular basis inputting, updating, and managing information that is presented in documents but compiled in other places has me apoplectic on a weekly basis.
I'll tell ya, at the moment, this isn't quite where I need it to be, because every team I work in/with is entirely Drive / GDocs-centric, and so what I'll need in the long-run to roll it out is a native integration within that interface. I'd love for GOOG to just buy y'all and integrate that capability into their rapidly-growing Workspace capabilities. Until then, watching with great interest, may play around with it a bit.
