You're right. It's not available at the moment but we are launching Facebook Ads integration very soon! Are there any other marketing sources like Facebook Ads you would like to see?

Hi everyone! Shubh, Saps and Mehmet here from Airboxr (https://airboxr.com/). We've built a Google Sheets add-on that lets you import and lookup data from external data sources without having to leave your spreadsheet.

We found most spreadsheet users (74% in our survey of over 900 users) are frustrated with all the data collection and cleaning they need to do before they can analyze data. Data today is distributed across various marketing, sales, financial, and operational sources. While power users can write scripts to collect and clean data, most business users end up applying a long series of copy-pastes and CSV imports to get their data ready for analysis. The process of importing data from multiple sources into a spreadsheet is complicated and unintuitive.

Airboxr is an interactive query builder inside your Google Sheets that enables you to import and lookup data across various sources. Much like SQL querying, it lets you filter and summarize data as you see fit, without requiring any SQL know-how.

In our current public-beta version, you can connect to any google sheet and start importing data as per your needs. The only requirement right now is that the google sheet you connect should have tabular data with headers in the first row.

Here's a quick no-frills demo (https://airboxr.com/demo) that you can play around with. If you're looking for a marketing specific use case, try this demo instead (https://www.airboxr.com/demo-marketing).

Thanks for reading - we'd love to get your thoughts, feedback, and ideas!

Yes. We clearly do. Appreciate your input though. It's always interesting to understand different perspectives.

Cheers!

It's probably laziness. Is that such a bad thing though? I think its ok to expect tooling to be easy so we can spend our times on actually writing code. To me it's the same thing as expecting auto completion and line by line debugging from our IDEs.

I've never understood why so many pro developers around me speak so highly of git. I get that its powerful but why does it seem so convoluted?

I'm not a git expert. Just a developer who likes to get things done with the least amount of effort. I use a combination of git cli, vscode git extension and SourceTree to do everything I need to do. I hate that I have to use SourceTree given its many flaws. Yet, the way that it lets me visualize branches-merges history and do interactive rebase is just unmatchable.

Also, never understood why Github Desktop exists or what people use it for.

I kind of know what you mean. In my case, it was due a psychedelic substance. I vividly remember being inside, walking out in the street and opening the door to go out, in that order. Made me feel very confused because I knew that logically it could not have gone that way, yet that was the chronology in my mind.

And it will be killed in 3 years.

If that's true it's so messed up.

It's crazy that this kind of thing is tolerated in financial markets. It should be criminal to manipulate markets like this.

Time and again I'm convinced that it is extremely difficult to succeed as a retail trader. The odds of you succeeding given false signals like this are just depressingly low. And this is just one instance where the prosecution was able to prove wrongdoing.

Love the concept. Been looking for couchsurfing for remote work for a while now. Would love to try it out as travel restrictions ease up.

Of course not. In his mind he's probably employee of the month. Every month.

I wonder if its actually even worth it to do this kind of shit. Forget the ethical concerns for a minute, think about the kind of company you've built and the people you've hired to even warrant this kind of scrutiny in the first place.

True. None of the bigtech companies ever took a hard stand against it though. Some people were always working remotely in some capacity in these companies.

I'm curious if there are people who've done YC in both remote and non-remote format. Would be interesting to hear their comparisons.

Slightly different question. Is Y Combinator still worth it in its fully remote format?

Didn't they themselves said they couldn't deliver their value remotely a couple of years back?

Wonder if its "lost" more of its worth after going fully remote.

Got it. Thanks for clearing it up :)

So were all companies that applied accepted onto the Advisor Track? Or are the Advisor Track companies a subset of the 15k companies that applied? If so, what are the numbers like?
