I've been working for 3 years now in a deep tech startup in the agriculture space: we have developed a model, and are running tests with big companies. We rely on a MySQL db for parameters. The core team is me, and 2 of my partners. They are both experts in the field, and don't have much experience with computers, let alone MySQL. Throughout the development of the project, they need to dig into the database to generate reports and also tweak the numbers - it happens all the time. We love your video demo, and would love to use something like this instead of SQL + MySQL Workbench, but there are 2 problems:
1) We are bootstrapping, with low resources, and no income: paying for something like this is not an option - not even if it was 1/10 of the current price.
2) As I said we have data from big companies, so it would only be viable if we could do it all locally (not even sure if that's possible).
With you current business model I think you might perhaps lose a lot of opportunities like us.
Also, it might be a noob question, but it's not clear if we can use this to EDIT data aswell, directly. It's a bit of a pain in Workbench: for instance, if you don't have an AI PK, it won't allow you to edit data after a select statement.
- cpursley 4y agoWhy not start with charging your customers? Just because you don’t doesn’t mean your vendors shouldn’t.
- gverrilla 4y agoThe product is still under development and testing, so there is no charging for now. I didn't suggest they shouldn't charge: but if they had a more flexible model, perhaps free for 2 or 3 users (most single-founder startups fail, anyway), with limitations, we would try/use it. And if we did, when we grew we would have it in our work culture already.
- LtdJorge 4y agoYou should try NocoDB!
- gverrilla 4y agoThanks a lot, will give it a try!
