Hey, awesome Sumo-ling community!

This is Shawn with Columns!

Glad to see you here, after 16+ years of building various data products in multiple companies (mainly Microsoft, Facebook, and Pinterest), I started off building Columns in September 2021, a web-based data storytelling platform powered by cloud computing. Because of the tech foundation, Columns easily supports various data sources including but not limited to

Spreadsheets
Uploads
Database, Data warehouses
HTTP service
Saas tools, like Shopify, square, salesforce, etc.

From these data sources, you and your team could collaboratively work on storytelling, design, and communication with ease, and hopefully joy as well.

At the current stage, I would like to highlight a few features that we focus on, to deliver a smooth data storytelling experience:

🔥 fine & beautiful charts: every chart is highly customizable, you just click any visual element to bring the settings to craft it.
🔥 AI-generated templates: Columns generate templates based on data, with one click, you may discover and unveil the most important insights.
🔥 voice & natural language: it’s a joyful experience when you are new to data analysis.
🔥 time series & forecast: it’s so convenient to work with time series data, and easily get future forecasts as well.
🔥 design & communication: Columns offer design tools to enrich your data story, such as narratives, shapes, arrows, shading, etc. You can also engage people with in-place chatting to discuss every bit in detail.
🔥 embeddable: every shared data story can be embedded into your website or app with flexible size settings.

We are just at the beginning of our journey to build the best data visualization platform for collaboration, and sharing meaningful insights, you’re the early adopters, and I really appreciate your support, and wish we could be helpful in any way. This deal is a lifetime premium membership.
