Writing SQL queries was a pain and this friction makes data available only to a small set of folks. Data tools generally suck or are really expensive. Tableau, Looker, Domo and Power BI were built at least ten years ago for desktop - and it shows. Thats why I set out to build an easy, visual way to ask questions of data (not just view old dashboards that somebody had to create on a desktop), that was built for mobile, super collaborative with @mentions and chat, and free for individuals and small organizations. You can even save graphs to your camera roll, view data tables, and save CSVs to share -- all from your phone. 📱 We believe that data should be easy to access from anywhere, and seamless to collaborate around -- so we built Zing. 📊 Graphs on the go Choose from a range of chart types and tables to visualize answers to questions from your phone ❓ Ask questions in a few taps Choose from common SQL functionality to answer questions from data. All the powerful SQL functionality is included: counts, sums, distinct values, group bys, having, and more! 🤙 Collaborate with your team Built in messaging functionality lets you share visualizations and questions with your teammates, use @mentions with colleagues to get their insights, get decisions made quickly. To get started, just download the app on iOS or Android and use a sample dataset, or add your own Postgres database (more database sources coming soon). We hope you like it -- and would love your thoughts and ideas of how it can be even better!

Wow, this is a phenomenal product. Zing gets you the data you need just when you need it. Clearly early stages, but the snappy mobile-first UI for business intelligence dataviz, leads me to believe this is a powerful tool for making data-based arguments on the go.

@jmadler Thanks Jordan - we really wanted to make it fast / free / easy so more folks could make decisions with data. To speed queries up, we auto-optimize in the background so we aren't returning 1000 rows of stuff that won't be readable on your phone and we automatically sort by date, use graph types that make sense for the type of results returned, etc.

@vivekweb2013 Thanks so much Vivek - and we're working on even more functionality that should ship in the next few weeks like: 1\ More Chart Types 2\ Additional Data Sources (mysql, Presto, Mongo) 3\ Improved notifications when you are @mentioned or a query is long-running we'll let you know when it is complete Also let us know if there is anything else that would be really helpful as we continue building out!

Zing has incredible promise. It's already easy to run queries on the go and answer questions quickly -- I'm also excited to be able to visualize the data in more ways than is currently possible. Nice work @zhendlin!
