Reflect Public Beta — Data visualization as a service

Replies
@kkdub Software teams (developers, product managers, and others) who want to add analytics and reporting capabilities to their products and services.
@kkdub we just launched design tools that make it easy for non-technical to get up and running. You just need to know how your data works, and for more advanced use cases write some SQL.
@concordio we're not seeing an issue. Is there a chance you already have a Reflect account?
This is awesome - as a PM, I am thinking up all sorts of hack week ideas for things I could surface to our customers, or internal teams like Success :)
@androidlove not currently, though you can connect a CSV. GA is on our list. Can you tell me a bit about what you're trying to do?
What do you think is the biggest advantage to using Reflect over something like raw d3.js?
@bmajz We bundle a reporting API with with pre-configured visualizations and design tools, so you don't have to build data infrastructure or write a ton of code. A big chunk of what we do is in the data modeling and API layer, but visualizations are how you get the value.
We actually use D3 under the hood to power our visualizations. It's a wonderful library.
Love the focus on embeddability! Big pain point most dataviz vendors don't address.
As a both a developer and a marketer - it would be great to see Google Sheets support. It would opens up a whole world of new applications as there are many existing tools to continuously populate Sheets with a wide variety of sources (Google Analytics, Adwords, Facebook, YouTube, etc.)
@eonpilot Thanks! We provide the middle layer. The last slide of the gallery is our data modeling UI. Just connect your datasource and we do the rest.
@eonpilot @abilmes What is your original format? Our startup (https://www.flex.io/) does this kind of repeatable data glue (focused on data/file processing, rather than workflow automation like a zapier, etc). Currently in private beta, but looking at adding connections for beta testers, including dataviz endpoints like Reflect...
@eonpilot what format is it right now? Smaller files like Excel can be exported to CSV through Google Sheets.
@wanderslth @eonpilot We can connect to Postgres, MySQL, Redshift, SQL Server, and CSV. We don't store the data, so if you connect a source we query it directly.
Looks great; I like the take on dataviz-as-api! Where do you see yourself differentiated most from folks doing (or did) similar things (I see hints of the old datahero and silk as well as more formal dashboard companies like klipfolio, etc.
@wanderslth we focus on embedded use cases and helping software teams build analytics and reporting products for their customers. We're the first company to offer a truly embedded service.
This is amazing! I would love to use those beautiful visualizations. I loved the design! Signing up now.
Looks very good guys. Just created an account, is there any way to use Firebase as a datasource?
We're thrilled to announce the opening of Reflect to the public! Within minutes, you can connect to your existing data sources, design interactive views of your data, and embed them into your application or service.
My co-founder Brad Heller and I started Reflect to create a better way for companies to design, publish, and share their data. We had experienced the pains of building analytics and reporting and wanted to help others learn from our past mistakes and give them tools to create great products. Traditional analytics and BI vendors didn’t understand modern use cases or the needs of developers, so we set out to create a new category: data visualization-as-a-service.
Anyone can now sign up on our website. Give it a spin and let us know what you think. We look forward to working with you in 2017 and beyond. Thank you for all your support!
@abilmes Registered an account the day before PH launch but my login isn't working. Have tried resetting PW multiple times. Any ideas?
@jbschaff have you checked your junk mail? If that isn't it, shoot us a note to support@reflect.io and we'll get you sorted.
