Does anyone else use MongoDB but do most of their analysis in Google Sheets?

We were tired of exporting MongoDB to JSON, then converting JSON to CSV, then copy-pasting into Google Sheets and doing index-matches to consolidate collections. So we built a tool to automate it!

MongoToSheet quick exports your MongoDB collections into Google Sheets automatically. Feel free to sign up on our website (it's free).

It's not an ad. It's genuinely a hobby project... We have not made any money on it. There are teams at those companies using our app, not the companies themselves.

My email address and main job / company are in my profile btw.

Is this you as well? https://mightydash.com/

Yeah we need better language. It's just a fun way for teams to stay connected. So for $1 a day a company can add it to as many channels / use it for as many teams they want.

We've priced it relatively high at first, but we've also put the language "If you want to get on the paid plan for Hallway, but don't want to pay, just email us at support@hallway.chat with a link to yourself sharing Hallway on social media and we'll give you a discount"

We can look into adding tiers

Great article, thanks for sharing

That's a good idea. Does it work?

Thanks for the advice! We don't store phone numbers, but that's great advice to ask users for language to use.

Regarding channels, we posted on product hunt and then I think they are mostly word of mouth

Get some way of reaching the real customer - email, slack channel (!), just hunt them down on linkedin. You have had people who looked at your tiny offering and went -"Yes please I'll have some of that, lovely". You want to understand their brains and their situations inside out.

Find one customer today. Just one. Call her, email her whatever. just one. Today.

As for channels, you need a channel that you can drive - product hunt is a one shot affair. Word of Mouth - you cannot control it. its great. But it is totally passive on your side. If I give you 10 million dollars to exapnd your business how do you spend even one cent on 'word of mouth'?

We love the idea of building great new products that sell themselves. And great products do - once the flywheel is spinning. But you need something where you pay x dollars and that turns into a customer paying you x+y dollars. (And those dollars paid might be your time to write evergreen articles on your website that go viral and sit at top of google page 1. But even so its your time you paid for)

(And no SEO never does that anymore)

Btw we just added the paid tier today!

I'm 100% unclear what this product does. Slack already has video, or you can use any other video room software to also do what it already does?

What am I missing here?

Oh it posts hangout rooms every X hours in any channel you want so you and your colleagues can have a 10 minute chat. It's a fun break from work

This is really helpful. And good guidance on thinking really hard about whether it's needed.

When do companies usually start not allowing this? I've heard of even facebook and google having this functionality?
