Hi! I'm the author of Redash :) Nice to see Redash at the top of HN.

I'll be happy to answer any questions about Redash, open source and about my journey to make Redash a self sustainable project.

For any questions that don't fit on HN, feel free to reach me at arik at redash.io.

We LOVE REDASH at our company. Lack of adequate developers (the neverending startup saga) meant not everyone got what they wanted, fast enough. Redash has changed that for us. We use it extensively across all our teams (operations, sales, marketing etc). Thanks!

Hi Arik,

Quick question: to what decimal accuracy are the visualizations capable of displaying, and are second/sub-second time series possible in the dashboards? The issue our team has been having with other platforms such as Quicksight is the lack of support for extremely granular data visualization. Thanks in advance!

In the tables we show only 2 digits after the dot, but that's easy to change (in code; and later on will be configurable). Never tried to plot sub-second time series, so don't know what will happen - but unlike most platforms, you can modify Redash to support this :)

It's true that it's extra work, but it's a one time investment which you can reuse for all your visualization needs later on.

We use Crystal Reports pretty heavily at my job but we are tying to move away from them. Could we use this to do something similar to crystal reports?

I saw a mention on the front page about using custom scripts as data sources, but when I dig down into the docs about how to set those up, there's no mention of it.

Is there a blurb somewhere about how that data must be formatted and used?

Hi arik,

Thank you for redash, we are using it at Beintoo (with Presto and Redshift) and everybody likes it.

Well done!
