[Product Hunt]( [Read in browser]( [This newsletter is brought to you by]( TOP NEWS Happy Thursday! In today’s digest I’m covering the latest update from a team that wants to make accessing and presenting data easier for everyone. But first… The headlines: 💰 [Google accidentally deleted the account of a $125B Austrailian pension fund.]( 🎨 [Samsung hit out at Apple’s controversial iPad ad with its own version.Â]( 🔐 [Android has a new theft-dection lock feature to deter thieves.]( PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT [Manage and present your data better with the latest Equals update]( Spreadsheets are the cornerstone of data, enduring while other tools have come and gone. Why? Because you can interact with your data on a big canvas. But setting them up is tough since your data always comes from somewhere else, requiring constant CSV exports and imports. That’s where[Equals]( comes in. Founded by Intercom veterans [Bobby Pinero]( and [Ben McRedmond,]( Equals is a smart spreadsheet tool that connects to your data source, pulls it in, organizes it, and lets you interact with it. The best part? It generates entire dashboards and reports with a few clicks for easy team presentations. The team won a Golden Kitty Award in 2023 for their efforts. Now they’re back with [Equals 24](, the biggest release since its launch. Equals 24 features a redesigned query experience, more flexible charts, ARRAY formulas, and more. There are three main parts to the update: Explorer: The new explorer function offers a faster query experience, full-screen editor, and instant data previews, making it quicker and easier to find the data you need at a moment’s notice. Spreadsheet: The core of Equals has been updated with improved chart-building functionality, new ARRAY features, and support for up to 500,000 rows per sheet. Dashboards: Dashboards now feature classic or modern themes and allow you to create new charts directly from dashboards without needing to set up a new sheet. Embracing tech nostalgia, the team is celebrating this launch by sending out hard copy demos complete with their own box, reminiscent of picking up a hard copy version of Excel in the '90s.
