I don’t understand why people like the spatial audio feature. How often do you move your head relative to your iDevice while watching a movie? The field of view is too narrow for it to make any sense.

If you ignore the above then the only trick that’s left is the fake 3D effect; which isn’t novel or even desirable for someone who cares about authentic sound.

It doesn’t make sense to compare these to the wired Sennheiser cans. These are targeted towards a completely different market. I’d be surprised if the sound quality comes anywhere close to HD660S.

Thanks for the suggestion. Looks promising. Although it's not as polished as Tableau.

Yeah, I've used it in the past. Problem is my home server is a tiny RPi Zero and Metabase is too heavy for it. I'll look into running it on AWS/DO if I absolutely have to.

Send grid retires sending the message for 3 days incase it doesn't get a 200 from my server.

To capture errors on my server I use PaperTrail's email alerts.

Tableau Public is the one that makes me uncomfortable. If this dashboard continues to work well and be useful I'll look into self-hosted alternatives.

Last week I built an automated expense tracking dashboard on Tableau using SendGrid and Google Sheets. I use a Gmail filter to forward my credit card transaction emails to an Inbound Parser setup on SendGrid, which makes a POST call to my home server with the content of the email. A regex then captures the details from the POST body and pushes them to a Google Sheet.

Next I use Tableau Public to read data from Google Sheets and publish a dashboard to Tableau Public Online. Tableau Public automatically refreshes data on the server side from Google Sheets every few hours.

The good part is that all of this can run automatically without any manual intervention whatsoever and I get a beautiful near real-time dashboard for my daily expenses that I can access from anywhere (dashboard is publicly accessible but hidden).
