We are Brytlyt are happy to answer any questions you may have about SpotLyt, our new visual analytics tool for Real-Time analysis of Billion Row Data Sets.
Hey Rkwasny, We believe the usefulness of open source to the end user really depends on the maturity of the product. Open source is great once the product is mature. But if the product is relatively new then end users are exposed to all the issues inherent in immature software without the support intrinsic to proprietary software. To balance this, we have a free community edition that contains all the features of our fully supported enterprise edition.
Not only that, but this looks to be a copy to the pixel of MapD's Immerse visualization tool. What are these guys thinking? Imitating good UX is one thing, exactly copying it is quite another.
Not this again! Seriously pgv is clearly sock-puppetting accounts or paying somebody for upvotes on HN. Their last few submissions all have ~50-80 upvotes, and no real comments https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=pgv
Brytlyt may be excellent. But spamming HN and creating fake accounts to comment on that spam is such amateur PR work that I automatically want nothing to do with it.

[ 3.3 ms ] story [ 30.2 ms ] threadIs there a plan to open source brytlyt? There is no way we would use the database for our product that is not open source ( see FoundationDB story )
And by "real comments", I mean comments that aren't pointing out that it's spam, come from Palvi the marketing director's "pgv" account, or come from mystery "<english name><2 digits>" accounts created on the same day (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=george65, https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=harry27). Not very subtle, Palvi.
And the content is supposedly sometimes stolen https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15275697

Please stop.
