Hello Product Hunt! I’m Nuno, co-founder and CEO of Decipad, a tool that makes it a breeze to turn data insights into compelling narratives. In a world of data, communication around numbers is still a clumsy endeavor. The origin and story of a number are rarely shown, shoved into cells and presented as results just to be believed. At Decipad we believe that you deserve better. It should be easy for you to understand why a number is what it is, and how it came to be. Instead of having to just believe, you should have the opportunity to learn something through numbers. With Decipad, we're making this a reality. We're giving you a tool that provides a stage for your thought process. That makes it easy to convey a narrative around numbers. This not only allows people to follow along, learn, and truly understand – it also facilitates trust in your insights. With the opening of our Beta version, we are introducing a whole host of new features that make it even easier to work with data: ✨ Live Collaboration ✨ Team Workspaces ✨ API & SQL Data Integrations ✨ AI Assistance ✨ A much more user-friendly Notebook UI As of today, in Decipad, anyone can sign up to build, and collaborate on, interactive data narratives that are a pleasure to share or publish. A Decipad notebook makes your numbers look good and help you and your team to, for example: 👉🏼 Get a sense of ROI 👉🏼 Explore the viability of Business Models 👉🏼 Make educated spending decisions We'd love to hear your thoughts and any feedback you might have! And, thank you to my co-founders and the amazing Decipad team. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built and how far we’ve come. We have exciting plans ahead, and I can’t wait for what’s coming next!

I know there's a lot of founders in Product Hunt, so I built a little document about "everyone having a number" (to sell their business) -- What's your founder number? https://app.decipad.com/n/What-i...

Launching soon!

Really impressed by Decipad — giving people who tell stories with numbers a medium to express their insights in a collaborative, interactive format. The notebook foundation means that teams can "play with numbers" in a more approachable context than a spreadsheet, which I personally often get lost in. And I can only imagine how much Decipad will improve once generative AI is more deeply integrated!

I'm extremely happy with this launch. As a product designer at Decipad, I think we've made leaps in how the product acts, looks & feels. Can't wait for the feedback from the community! We are always seeing things we can do better, and your perspectives & feedback are invaluable. Especially for a product like this, where in many ways we are treading new grounds, and try to forge new paths. I hope you have a good time using Decipad, and that it will grow on you just like it has grown on us here in the team. We can't imagine a workday without it, and it is our vision to make you more productive and successful working with data.

Congrats on the launch! Decipad has quickly become one of my favourite products. The team workspaces will be a game-changer for us. How do you see it evolving in the next year?

@andreyv Thanks Andrey!! We are huge fans of Graphy as well. I think Decipad will evolve in three main areas: * Collaboration — sharing scenarios, comments, annotations. We know our users love interactive with smart documents but they want to save their own "version" of the document, and collaborate further. We also want to add Team and User pages, so people can see what each other build and be quicker to make documents of their own. * AI — We already have a couple of super useful AI tricks, but we have big plans here. We know people struggle with turning their thoughts into narratives, and even more putting formulas to it. AI struggles to do this, but Decipad's language has great potential to bridge that gap. * Supporting our users — Decipad is often used as a way to show ROI to people. We want to improve our widgets and ways in which we support this flow.

@hasan_ui_design Thanks Hasan! Great feedback. We found that designers love to build in Decipad, and some of the most successful early adopter were designers. I guess designers love numbers huh?

This is pretty epic! Big fan of anything that brings together data and the context in one place without constant horrible copy and pasting (which I've spent weeks of my life doing when I was an analyst). And the live scenarios stuff is sick. Going to give it a whirl.

@ben_bruss Thanks Ben. Let us know if we can help build anything out or convert an existing model into a Decipad!

Hello makers, great product. Love the attention to detail that went into the design. Looks super clean for a beta. Who is your ideal customer persona? Because I’m building a horizontal product too and I understand how tricky it can be to market inspite of a great product.
Kelly McEttrick
Maker
@sameer_sanagala Thanks Sameer. Our design team is amazing. We can relate well to the horizontal challenge. We have two ideal personas today: A business decision maker that comes from a technical background (i.e. technical founder, product manager). These are individuals that need to drive decisions forward across many stakeholders, often with imperfect data and that changes fast. They enjoy building in flexible tools with modern interaction patterns. And, a BD/sales persona that needs to present, often complex, information to customers in a personalized way that customers can easily connect with.

Nice! Excel (numbers) and Powerpoint (storytelling) blended into something much easier to use while still more fund to read. Great job!
