Hey everyone πŸ‘‹Quick story: I needed a simple dashboard to track some metrics for a side project. I looked at Grafana, Metabase, even Google Data Studio... and honestly, they all felt like overkill for what I needed.Then I stumbled on FlowPulse and it scratched exactly the itch I had.What it does:- Connects to your data sources and creates clean dashboards- Setup takes minutes, not hours- The UI is refreshingly simple β€” no 50-menu navigation*What I like about it:*- Actually lightweight β€” doesn't try to be everything- Good for side projects and small teams who need visibility without complexity- Clean design that doesn't scream "enterprise software from 2010"Not saying it replaces Grafana for complex monitoring β€” it's a different tool for a different job. But if you're like me and just want to see your numbers without a PhD in dashboard configuration, it's worth a look.Has anyone else tried it? Would love to hear your experience.
