Frictionless Analytics

When analytics tools slow teams down, it’s rarely just because they lack features. More often, it’s friction in everyday workflows - setup confusion, awkward interactions, or small usability gaps that compound over time.
ChartFactor Studio is built to reduce that friction by keeping analytics creation close to the browser, close to the product, and close to how teams actually work. Recent updates reflect that philosophy clearly and they’ve been driven directly by how users interact with Studio in real projects.
Setup in Studio is now easier to navigate, with clearer guidance built directly into the dialogs. Spark and ChartFactor Node providers include practical startup instructions and links, while requirements for Postgres and Spark remain visible even when editing existing providers. Hints now stay in view while scrolling, making setup less of a guessing game and more of a guided process.
Studio also now integrates the improved BigQuery OAuth flow, removing popup-based authentication that browsers often block. Instead, users authenticate via a smooth redirect and return exactly where they left off.
These changes are exactly the kind that remove drag and friction from day-to-day work. ChartFactor Studio keeps analytics creation focused, predictable, and shaped by how teams actually build.
