Thanks for the feedback.

While Fluxo lets you automate a bunch of tedious things, it's still on the user to create the whole business logic of the model.

The idea is that you can build a model exactly as you would in Excel, just easier. Some examples: - instead of copying and pasting data from other places, integrating through an api - instead of duplicating entire sheets to create multiple scenarios, just add a scenario to a dropdown - instead of having to create separate tables for monthly, quarterly, and annual views, select how you want aggregations to work and change the view with a toggle.

Got it, thanks for the feedback. Certainly something we’re going to work to improve

Thanks!

Two of the features we are considering next are templates and a guide/in-app training. Which one do you think would be more valuable to you?

(Also, I can answer any specific questions on the chat if you are logged in)

Don't need to write CSS, built the website with Webflow :)

done

Hmm, good point. The way it works now is: if an actual is coming from an external source or a formula, it updates automatically (if it's manual, it doesn't). Once a month is closed and you want to start using that month as an actual, not a forecast, you just need to press a button "finalize all actuals for current month", and it all happens automatically.

We are positioning our product as much more lightweight and affordable solution than Adaptive or Anaplan.

Good catch, that was not on purpose.

Thanks, I've just changed it. It's definitely looking better. I tried border effects but I think they're too much for my (almost nonexistent) design skills.
