Hey everyone, I'm one of the founders of Machete. And I'm feeling very humbled by the response, thank you so much!
I can definitely put a lot of product hunter's in the first round of beta. I'll make sure all commenters are definitely in first round. If you don't want to comment, best way to ensure you're in the first round is to email ph@machete.io
We're working on our messaging, but right now Machete works best with pivot-able data (lots of rows 100-20000 and fewer columns 10-15). I'm working with @rrhoover to get a board up for PH data, is there any other data you'd like to see visualized?
Cheers,
von
I gotta say that I'm getting tired of giving my email to every second cool product here. By the time you get your invitation they need to pitch you again so you'll sign up. so what's the point?
Let's make this place for "real products" only.
(just a suggestion)
@F1ReMaN we're exploring adding categories to identify launched vs. pre-launched product submissions. There are several submissions of unreleased products that people get excited about and want to signup for but I can empathize with the "bait and switch" feeling of clicking through to a product to find that it's not available yet. We'll find the right balance, I believe. :)
This looks awesome! One bit of feedback: you might not want to make your main headline "Hate Excel?". Lots of people who could get a lot of value out of this actually like excel a lot.

@nbashaw that is a good point. I'm an engineer and suck with words, so I tried to read up on copywriting and follow a formula - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AID... . "Hate Excel?" gets attention reader moves on to benefits (at least I think it does).
"Have a Love/Hate Relationship with Excel?", might be more accurate, but I'm afraid its too long. We were going to wait until we got a little traction before implementing A/B testing, but lo and behold we're over 20K visitors in 5 days and rapidly approaching 1,000 signups. We have to get to it soon now :)
@vongillern makes sense! I just know I felt funny sending this to our finance people because they would find it useful but they LOVE excel haha.
I agree - the "love/hate" angle isn't simple or catchy enough. I actually love the tagline on PH - "Turns Excel files into awesome interactive web dashboards".
This is so awesome. Pivot Tables are super useful but its a PITA to do any good visual representations with the data in Excel itself.

I'm working with a dozen of different massive lists for my work, mainly media and social media lists. Would love to see what Machete can turn this into. Very intriguing idea indeed.

This is pretty cool. I love tools that present a lot of insights right off the bat, instead of tools that give you a workspace and a blank screen and you have to figure out how to start finding insights.
