This is really cool :) I nearly worked on such a project myself, out of frustration for simple solutions. I've seen similar things recently with SQL Notebook, Zeppelin, Jupyter, Flyspeed SQL query.. and more complex desktop apps like Tableau, QlikView, etc. I kept thinking to myself... why isn't there just a lighter weight query only tool. It helps people to learn, it's a handy utility, it helps you just use SQL as a utility for quick tasks using a UI - very nice.
A few questions/comments:
- Are you planning to put this in an Electron app? I think the more you can make it feel like an actual desktop app, the more likely you are to get more "regular" users. Just my opinion.
- While I love the simplicity of making this sound like a cloud service, I think that the nature of it being provided through the user's own infrastructure should be emphasized even more. As far as I can tell (and I haven't looked extensively), there is nothing that is actually "cloud oriented" about your service. Is it because people make there own "cloud" out of your bridge adapter? For people who want these tools on-premise and under their own control, you have a solution.
- antimatter15 9y agoWe've got an Electron app in the works. Check out the Github repo if you're interested in helping out! Yeah the domain name is pretty much a complete misnomer (it was a cheap gTLD :/).
- chrisweekly 9y agoI fell in love w/ a fantastic little CLI util called 'lnav' which has an embedded sqlite db and lets you do all kinds of querying (eg write SQL queries against a few million rows of server logs in a custom log format, or use regex to transform files to/from arbitrary formats...). http://lnav.org http://lnav.org It's sort of a mini ETL powertool.
