I, too, would like to see the OmniSci Community team make a Call Me Maybe lip sync. I’ll post the suggestion in their Slack channel (disclosure: I’m an engineer at OmniSci).
A challenge for us with a “YouTube of Data” is that our backend requires GPU instances for the dataviz that we focus on. Scaling that to YouTube heights would take a really well concerted effort, more than a fun side project. We’ve talked about the idea a lot though. Our backend (OmniSciDB) is open sourced so anyone else could do it with their own resources and a custom dataviz client.
I know I’m sounding like a commercial, but I thought you might actually like an answer. That’s basically how we play with the app internally. I like using our Pokémon data set for debugging whenever possible :-)
Our paying customers are big enterprises right now who are well supported by the kind of sales team you’d expect. Our Community team is totally separate from sales and they genuinely likes helping people use our open source offering, hence the demo. We’re pretty happy for Sean that his post made HN.
But yeah, we’re still a business. But we’re kind of a family too. And data junkies.
