I've occasionally checked on Eve's progress since I first saw it mentioned here on Hacker News about two years ago - nice to see all the progress you've made!
A question regarding the centrality of data: when I first read about this, I thought an important part would be a kind of user interface for building relational databases - perhaps something like fieldbook. You mention Eve already includes a relational query engine - is a UI for modelling tables and for data entry also on the roadmap?
- cmontella 10y agoYes, this incarnation of Eve isn't what you would take to an end user and expect them to use it. We have a lot of ideas on this front, mentioned in milestone 3 of the roadmap on the post. If you take at look at some of our blog posts on incidentalcomplexity.com, you'll see some of our thinking. The reason that we are releasing an Eve focused on developers is that we want something more immediately useful while we research what the right direction is for the UI. But before we get there, we could definitely see some tooling for the current version. You could imagine a grid block that is embedded in the document, for instance.
