About

Equals is a modern spreadsheet application designed for SaaS founders, operators, and finance teams who need to analyze product and business metrics without relying on a data analyst or building dashboards in a traditional BI tool. The platform extends the familiar spreadsheet interface with direct live connections to databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift), and business applications (Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot), allowing users to pull fresh data into spreadsheet formulas without manual exports or CSV uploads. This live data model means reports and dashboards always reflect current data rather than point-in-time snapshots.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
