Cool idea guys, congrats on the launch especially given it was mid-batch.
I'm not in the market for something like this but it resonates with me since a few times now we've run into the need to jury-rig some scripts to pull data from a MySQL DB to populate a Google Sheet, which then does some simple calc/re-packaging for display on a dashboard or other simple BI use-case. But to do it you end up maintaining basically a simple "app", even if it's just a cron job hitting a python script hourly or something.
I also like the idea of connecting the world's most powerful / most adopted BI tool (spreadsheets) and the more proper data stores one finds in DBs.
- jimmyechan 7y agoThanks! Would love to understand more about your use case. What do you use to display dashboards? Is through charts inside Sheets or do you have a separate tool reading data from the spreadsheet and displaying it? We are working on a MySQL connection and scheduled refreshes. Might be able to solve your problem soon
