Feedback on your homepage, https://meltano.com/ https://meltano.com/ There's no single visual on it :( Please show what kind of results one can get with this product. Contrast with https://www.tableau.com/ https://www.tableau.com/, which has a sample graph and "See it in action" right at beginning.

Thank you for the feedback, I've created an issue here: https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/691 https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/691 and we are working on it now In the meantime, one way to see more is to checkout our getting started guide: https://meltano.com/docs/quickstart.html https://meltano.com/docs/quickstart.html and also our YouTube channel which has weekly "Demo Day" videos sharing our progress: https://www.youtube.com/meltano https://www.youtube.com/meltano Really appreciate you taking a look at what we're up to!

Also second this, product guy here who has been using Tableau for years. Curious about Meltano. Went through some of the site / installation guide / videos and then the gitlab issues log and then found myself back here :) Would like to see a few simple, visual stories about how one could derive business value from meltano, ideally real-life use-cases but if you dont have those yet just make them up.

  Thank you for taking a look, you're right and we are working on it right now. This is perhaps a little more attention than we expected for our tiny 5 person project, and lights a great fire under us!

    Also, you may want to set up a Patreon page, or other crowd-funding site if you're making this all open source. There are companies that will pay for it just to have the alternative available to places like Tableau.

Here we all are in the comments complaining about how all the focus is on front end instead of fixing the back end, and one of the first comments to a legit alternative is "yeah so what's it look like?" !!

  Reality is that both need to be covered.
