We built a node-based visual data analysis & BI platform. Would love brutal feedback from r/dataanalysis!

Hey r/dataanalysis ,

We're building *Flownie*, a visual canvas workspace designed to bridge the gap between heavy statistical software and modern BI dashboards.

How it works:

You drag data sources onto an infinite canvas, apply transformations/stats (correlations, regressions, aggregations), generate visualizations, and interact with an AI co-pilot that can build and run workflows for you.

Where we need your advice:

  1. *Positioning:* Should we focus primarily on product analysts & data scientists, or non-technical business users looking for no-code analytics?
  2. *Freemium vs. Usage-based:* How do you typically evaluate data/BI software pricing?
  3. *UI/UX:* For node-based tools, what’s your biggest UI pet peeve?

If you analyze data regularly, I’d love for you to check it out and share your honest feedback!

What are the capabilities of a tool that enables data analysis and report generation via voice or text input, supported by an LLM?

I’ve developed a tool that transforms a raw spreadsheet into a live analytics workspace without the need for a server (a fully browser-based service). You’ve probably seen similar examples; what do you think such a tool should be capable of? For instance, I’m currently storing the data specifically within the browser so that the LLM only retrieves the column names, but the user could share the analysis results with the LLM if they wish.

What are your thoughts on this? What advice would you give?
