Ask HN: What's the most painful thing to do on Excel
Hi! I'm currently trying to find an interesting problem to solve and I've seem that a lot of people keep using Excel in their day-to-day lives. Many products out there try to replace Spreadsheets with some "from-scratch" solution.However, I think that it'd be interesting to build things on top of Excel that basically improve on top of the main pain points.With that said, I wanted to ask y'all...
We're focusing on startups as we've seen that founders are the first "financial" people in the company and they can have a hard time measuring and forecasting their finances (e.g. cashflow, runway).
Why Google Sheets? Because we've seen that people have access to other platform but many end up downloading data from there and importing it to a Spreadsheet as its more flexible with the number crunching and data manipulation they need.
Is this like an accounting software? No, we don't want to deal with complex accounting-related regulatory stuff. Instead, we want to help founders to easily access and keep updated the financial data they may need to make important decisions.
We're initially supporting bank data using Plaid but we want to add more integrations and features that make this process easier for founders.
We'd love to know your feedback and the experiences you've had dealing with financial data in your companies. Also, we're currently in private beta so if you're interested please leave us your email in the website :)
I'd say that compared to redis you can get started faster with pandora. I'm not an expert in redis but IIRC you'd need to do the setup/configuration which is what I'm trying to avoid with pandora by getting ready-to-use services pretty fast.
Also, compared to a JSON store service, pandora is kind of similar at the moment. However, in pandora you can have more control over your service by configuring permissions about which operations are public or private or even disabled. Also, you can use a custom domain and pandora will generate the SSL certificate on the background so you can have your own service under your own domain and with custom permissions.
Let me know if this answer your questions and if you have further questions/feedback :)

Hi everyone!So a couple of weeks ago I was building a chrome extension for crawling data and uploading it somewhere online for further exploration. I found myself struggling a lot with this as I found every solution I tried hard to implement (Firebase, Mongo Atlas, EC2). I mean I only needed a simple endpoint in which I was able to set and get JSON data with some key. In the end I made a small...
