Congrats jdavis and team! These guys are awesome.

This seems to work by having a direct connection into the database. Have companies been concerned about giving a 3rd party access to their data? How have you guys overcome that?

p.s. congrats on the work so far and the funding. The product looks great from the demo video.

So we actually connect via a reversed SSH tunnel. So our customers maintain the corporate firewalls and tunnel out to us. Since, unlike a lot of other business intelligence companies, we don't take a full copy of your data, we ensure security at that level as well (only pulling in what's absolutely necessary for the visualizations and reports).

Good question though!

Congrats to the chartio team. We use their product at dotCloud and are loving it.

Congrats Dave and team! Everyone who's tried to build a dashboard knows how annoying it is, so I think this is a great product.

Is there any way to block (YC WXX) spam?
carbocation
Sure. Write a browser plugin that detects and hides YC-related posts.

But must you complain about the food when you're eating for free at PG's potluck?

I wasn't complaining, simply asking. Maybe Ad-block will be updated to work on HN as well.

I don't get it. This is like complaining about the Romans at a Roman forum.

I'm pretty sure the majority of people on this forum want to see posts about YC companies.

Chart.io rocks!! I have used it a while back and the ability to plot a graph by drag and drop interface is just amazing. Highly recommend this.

I've been following Chart.io pretty closely and this is great to hear. Congrats guys!
