Cool stuff.

Just curious- how does it stack against Metabase (https://www.metabase.com/product/) for example? I used Metabase a few years back and was really blown away with the ease of use.

Thanks! Well, in general they both are self-service BIs, and have common features. Yet, TABLUM.IO is focused more on faster data extraction from files e.g. you can just drag and drop JSON, XML or CSV file to load data from it. Or specify an URL for data loading from remote host. Then it is stored in a local storage as a "view" (similar to sql table). And you can work with it like it is an SQL table using sqlite syntax: JOIN with other loaded data, filter, clean up, export or generate charts. Of cause, it has connectors to popular DBs such as postgres, mysql and clickhouse.

Ultimately, we're working towards a faster data analysis so you won't spend too much time setting up connectors to files and databases. Just get the results as fast as possible.

Same with data analysis: it has embedded support for aggregate - and window-functions. You can get "MOVING AVERAGE" just clicking the table columns (no keystrokes required).

Dashboards are not yet implemented, but we're working on it.

Thanks!

Metabase is primarily for sql and this system seems to support more than just sql.

Agreed! Suddenly I thought of Metabase, Looker or even Superset.

This seems more of an end-to-end system including etl job scheduling, data loading and local storage.
