Hi Product Hunt! Quick backstory: a little bit over a year ago, we launched the first version of Canvas. We were makers at a few high-growth startups, and one of the most common things we'd seen users do was "export to CSV" and pivot data in Excel. We thought there must be a better way, so we built a spreadsheet that connects to live data and translates everything you do into SQL. We got amazing feedback from our early customers and iterated on it heavily, but it was clear there were still major problems: 1. Not everyone has a database or data warehouse to connect to. 2. Data lives in multiple apps and databases and stitching it all together is a huge pain. 3. Even after all the stitching, raw data really sucks to work with. So we went back to the drawing board and tried to imagine – how would we design this from scratch if we had a magic wand? Enter Canvas 2.0! Jam-packed with features, just to name a few: – Connect to 150+ SaaS apps without code (Stripe, Segment, Hubspot, Intercom, Quickbooks, Shopify, Zendesk, and so many more), as well as any database or warehouse – Use 50+ expert-made templates for common startup use cases (e.g., ARR/MRR, quick ratio, revenue retention, LTV, user retention, customer cohorts, runway, ad spend, marketing attribution, time-to-close) – Slice and dice using powerful spreadsheets and pivots. Use familiar Excel shortcuts and formulas. Save models for reuse. – Design beautiful dashboards and reports. Global filters for your team to explore easily. Tons of visualization options (and constantly adding more!). Color themes to make your charts pop. ✨ – No data team? Our human analysts can help you build complex models, dashboards, board metrics, and investor updates and review your numbers regularly. Check it out and let us know how we did! We really love feedback ❤️ (I would say >90% of the product came out of feedback from our awesome customers.)

Looking interesting, looking forward to try it. We don’t have any datapoints and we do use our own tool so does it allow my to calculate MRR and other data points ?

@alpesh_vaghasiya2 Are you tracking this manually currently? How do you collect subscriptions? If it's something like Stripe or Paypal you could connect to that. If you're tracking things manually you can also dump your spreadsheet to CSV and upload that to Canvas.

@lukezapart right now we are doing via XLS so that will be great. let me take look tool and get back to you if need any help in that

@alpesh_vaghasiya2 Cool, in Excel you can hit "Save as", then pick "CSV (Comma Separated Values)", and upload that in Canvas. And when you need to refresh the charts, just upload a new CSV to replace the old one.

Hey! Congratulations on the launch! I didn't understand if it is analytics system or it is instrument for creating dashboards using the data from analytics systems?

@dzianis_yatsenka Thanks! It's both, actually. It's analytics you can set up yourself, and then create dashboards on top, without having to patch together multiple different systems.

@lukezapart thanks! Now it's clear! Good luck!
