I see tableau doesnt support google docs as a datasource, but still, your software seems pretty close to what they offer
the BI (business intelligence) arena have man big players Cognos, MS, SAS .... so watch out
my suggestion is you might wonna consider supporting more datasource other than google docs
most data that ppl seriously work on, is usually stored into a db, of course people do use spreadsheets sometimes as an export format for this data for adhoc querying but nevertheless you do need to support more datasources
so my suggestions would be, watch tableau software demos, add support to more datasource, make it open source and good luck .. there are so many way to go :)
- scroyston 19y agoYes, I've seen tableau, I think they're awesome. However, their client application is desktop based (though they have recently started doing stuff online, see Tableau does Web 0.2: http://www.intelligententerprise.com/blog/archives/2007/11/tableau_does_we.html http://www.intelligententerprise.com/blog/archives/2007/11/t...). I'm primarily targeting this at Excel pivot table/analytic users, who usually end up emailing 40MB files around to distribute the views they've built. The idea is with Eureka, you can do it online, and easily distribute what you've built via a simple URL. Thanks for the feedback.
