Show HN: Slate – Spreadsheet Visualisation Beta Launch

I watched the video, because I thought it could be useful for our monthly discussion of metrics (revenue, etc.).

My Feedback

Presentation: I disliked the music; it created a leisurly feel and reminded me of soft drink commercials.

Tool: In general I like the idea of "zooming" into the numbers and the presentation format of a tree. However I think there was too much horizontal scrolling involved. I think that by this you lose the all-important overview. Maybe something like prezie could work better here...

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry you dislike the music! We thought that the voiceover needed something extra so added it. As we move out of beta, we will definitely be looking at ways of improving the UI - ease of navigation is super important

I know some people who create videos/short movies. They said, people will forgive bad quality images, but not bad quality sound. They said getting the sound right matters more than the visuals.
