> Xero is hot garbage IMHO, but I've built some integrations

Curious to understand more about these? I've been doing a bit of exploring in the analytics space here, and would love to know where you found the available apps falling short.

The financial cloud apps control your financial database and therefore your ability to perform analytics on them. Open source allows you to actually plug in and make dashboards.

It took me 20 mins to build a monthly revenue dashboard in metabase that updates live and you cant do that natively with Xero.

In short, cash flow is everything. There's no reason a user should have to even login to Xero to see their cash positions.
