We'll be providing short user training videos very soon.



As someone who is the core audience for this tool can I say that I strongly prefer clear documentation over videos? Videos are way too hard to maintain and end up being stale the minute after you post them in fast-moving projects. I can't text-search a video and I can't be linked directly to an answer in a StackOverflow response.

Written documentation is vastly superior to videos in my opinion.


To add--you can also skim text MUCH more quickly for the piece you want compared to video.

I absolutely loathe video for any analytics-related documentation. It rarely adds any real value over text outside of live webinars where I can ask questions.


seconded. videos are not useful as documentation.


Would very much appreciate that as well as walk-through docs.

Got it up and running easily enough, and connected to Redshift. But seemed like creating a new "slice" required custom JSON params to define it. Unless I missed something?

edit: yep, missed something. Can "explore" a table by clicking it's link in the table listing.


Is there an API for building viz in code similar to something like Bokeh, or is it end user viz design only?
