Welcome, welcome, welcome everyone to the first instalment of Gyana's Monthly Product Update!

You, our amazing users, are growing in number at a fast pace and the time has come for us to keep you up to date with all the changes happening in our app in a more consistent manner. Here we go! 💪

Despite a short February, our engineers implemented more fixes and added features than any previous month in the last year 🚀. A super kudos to Gyana's Tech Team!

Here are the highlights from this first March Product Update:

  • New chart designs: We've completely redesigned our charting library to create beautiful yet professional visualisations. More chart types are coming soon!
  • Faster excel uploads: Many of our users have Excel files they want to upload to Gyana, hence we've worked hard to bring our Excel processing speed on par with CSVs. Excel uploads are now 10 - 20x faster. So a file with 100,000 rows should only take a few seconds, no need to convert your excels into CSVs!
  • New Table design: Another redesign? Yes! Our Tables have not only gotten a complete facelift but will scroll infinitely super fast too.
  • Improved 3 stages linking: We've added simple buttons to take you directly to the next stage of your data journey. Working on an Insight? One-click and it'll be added to a new report. We really mean it when we say "from data to reports in a few clicks" 😉.
  • Search for anything: We've improved our searching capabilities. Even if you've forgotten the name of that report you worked on last year, start typing with what you remember and let our search engine do its magic!

COMING SOON
