About Us
We are not interested in
building another PowerPoint® clone ("one damn slide after another").
Instead, we will make it easy for thoughtful people to create
thoughtful presentations using text, images, tables,
and charts.
And, as if that wasn't enough, we are building tools to make it easy to build powerful visualizations
of your data.
Here's our best guess at how the magic will ensue:
- data: uploading, annotating, editing
- charts: creating, editing
- text: rich text formatting with embedded objects
- presentations: layout, layout, layout
- search
- animation: allow data to change over time etc...
Our front end is a combination of HTML, Javascript, and Flash. Our
backend is running Ruby (on Rails at the moment) and Mysql. We
currently run out of the Amazon EC2 cloud. Our development is being
done all over the US in Boston (record hi/lo 103.0/-18.0F),
Amherst (100.0/-30.0F), Denver (104.0/-25.0F), Madison (108.0/-38.0F), and Southfield
(don't ask) on Macs (of course).
