Querybook – Pinterest’s open-sourced big data IDE via a notebook interface

• VoidWhisperer 6y ago
  It isn't really open sourced yet.. yes, it will be, but the title seems a bit disingenous considering it is just a wait list for something that will be open sourced at some point in the future. Regardless, it seems like a neat project and the number of query engines it supports will definitely make it useful

  > "open source" > wait list just say "yet to be open source", change this clickbait title.

    I copied it from the headline, I wanted to make sure I was following guidelines. Agreed it should be changed.

      From the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html "... please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." Since the title is misleading, changing it to be more accurate would be in line with the guidelines.

  I wish Microsoft would build a data viewer for VSCode.

    Well there is the Sanddance extension from Microsoft Research available for both VS Code and its cousin, Azure Data Studio.

      Sanddance has a feature called "data browser" but it only shows one row at a time, which isn't much of a data browser.

  Reminiscent of Apache Superset. Jinja2 sql templating is also found in Superset's SQL Lab module. https://superset.apache.org/ https://superset.apache.org/

  My question is: Would you use this if you could just connect directly to a database using the vendor-provided or third-part SQL client? And if so, what do you see as the advantages of doing so?
