Launch HN: Thorntale (YC W24) – Presentation software that works with your data
Hi HN! We’re Dori, John, and Ellen from Thorntale https://www.thorntale.com/ , a new tool for making data driven presentations. We make it easier for product, engineering, and data teams to communicate their work. Here’s a video demo: https://youtu.be/yLCIo3jG2GM , and you can try it now at https://app.sandbox.thorntale.com without signing in. Why? Because one of us (the data scientist) kept asking the other (a backend engineer) to move metrics from ClickHouse and CockroachDB, to Snowflake, to Looker, and then to Excel, so that she could make a chart in Excel for the BizOps team to screenshot, and finally stick in Google Slides. Besides being annoying for everyone, this produces inconsistencies and inaccuracies between the actual data and what got presented. We wasted three peoples’ time tracking down queries, going back and forth, and reformatting
