Hey Product Hunt! 👋

Would love to hear your thoughts — happy to answer any questions!Hey Product Hunt!
DataFlow turns raw SQL queries into visual dashboards in seconds.
As a data engineer, I was frustrated spending more time formatting
reports than actually analyzing data. Every BI tool I tried required
a PhD in their configuration. So I built DataFlow — paste your SQL,
get a dashboard.
It auto-detects chart types, handles large datasets, and exports
to PDF/PNG with one click.
We're offering 50% off the first year for PH users. Would love
your feedback — what reporting pain points do you have?| Time (PT) | Action |
