Hi, I am Jorin, the developer behind Shaper, the tool, and Taleshape, the company.
Through my previous work as software developer and data engineer I got to build different data dashboards and data export functionality.
It always felt challenging to navigate the data tooling landscape.
Even for simple problems it often meant running five different tools and getting the team on board with it.
I was longing for a simple solution for simple problems,
while acknowledging that complex problems require more complex solutions.
Shaper provides everything you need to get started to collect, store, process, visualize and share data.
I am currently working closely with initial customers to build a problem-oriented solution. If you are interested in close collaboration with a quasi part-time data engineer to help you operate Shaper, integrate data sources and build interactive dashboards, please get in touch.
As Shaper matures I plan to publicly release a paid PRO version which includes additional enterprise features such as Single-Sign-On, audit logging and automated backup recovery.
