Beautiful.

So can people upload their code snips to the appstore such that, say, a marketing data analytics person with no coding experience can pay to get 'buttons' to run queries that are relevant to their needs?

like the salaries example, for example, I used to spend a shit-ton of time educating a CFO on AWS spends in excel.

If I could have a code snip 'button' to use some AWS-CLI creds to pull results directly from AWS asa "CFO BUTTON" and set them up with an easy export to an XLS - and then let them build their own dash to their choice that would be cool.

I havent looked at Cloudability in quite a while, (know the founder) -- but giving a CFO-type an excel button... Every CFO can navigate excel. so they get an invisible tool that empowers them, and relieves stress on the Ops team...



Yep, that's the idea.

You create a project that defines some custom functions, ribbon commands, context menus, shortcuts etc... and then publish it to a store. Then anyone who has the QueryStorm Runtime (and the url of the store you published to) can install it through the "Extensions" dialog.

I haven't yet set up the ability to charge for packages but I plan on offering this. I first need a community of users, so didn't focus on charging yet.

If you'd like some help setting up something like that AWS scenario, reach me via email: antonio [at] querystorm.com, I've done several such integrations already (Google analytics, Monday.com, TSheets, Google drive).
