| Congrats on launching!

| Exactly! We don't store any data and natively connect to

|
| I like that you kept things brief but some screenshots and use
| cases would be a nice improvement for the landing page.

| Appreciate the feedback, will be uploading more screenshots

| Hi everyone! I wanted to share Fabra-- product analytics for the
| modern data stack. Fabra runs directly on your data warehouse,
| meaning we don't add another data silo or need you to setup
| costly ETLs.
|
| In addition to self-hosting our open source product, we also
| offer a hosted version which is WAY cheaper than other tools
| since we don't store any data.
|
| Let us know if you have any feedback, you can always reach me at

|
| Not being snarky, I just don't understand. The output of an
| ETL is data in your data warehouse. Then you build reports on
| top of the DW.
|
| How does Fabra prevent me from needing an ETL?
