It's the thought that counts:) Yeah, it's a shame there's no way to integrate with Excel for Mac, not a small market either.

First time I see this, pretty cool stuff. Glad to see I potentially have a lot of room for pricing adjustments:)

Thanks, much appreciated!:)

Thanks! I haven't given too much thought to support, but it seems to be a recurring theme here. It's definitely something to think about.

Haha, glad I didn't write that class for nothing:) Anyway... wow that's some comment! It's a lot of info to unpack! Would love to be able to hit you up with a question or two later if possible, but this gives me a sh*tload of

Nice to hear definitely. That's the vibe I was going for, but it feels a bit clumsy. Maybe I should have use QueryThingie instead:)

Well, $99 seems fair to me as well:) The reason for the low price now is I need the users and word of mouth. I'm well aware it's worth a whole lot more than $19, but right now I just don't know how to get it in front of poten

I'd certainly like that.

I like your comment:) That's the home version of it, the commercial is $149/year per machine. Basically I need traction, and a community of users, so I'm aiming for it being affordable for people to use at home. I'm hopi

Both really. Some times you don't need the overhead of a database, you just want to do a damn join in Excel or something. But also, it has the option to connect to an external database. When connecting, you can pull Excel tables into t

Absolutely true. Having trouble coming up with a name. Open to ideas. Currently I'm thinking "Tabularity", I've bought the domain. Not 100% set on it, but I'm definitely set on changing the name.

Good point. I added that in the FAQ section in the Guide, but really it should also be on the pricing page. I'll add it.

Need to come up with an algorithm for this now, fingers crossed I actually end up doing the calculation:) Half a ton for you too!:)

Are you kidding, dude I love you:) It was a huge moral boost for me at the time, and probably the reason I ended up committing to this project full time!

If it happens, I will find you and make sure you get TONS of beer delivered to your doorstep:)

Thanks! Something like a site wide license? Any suggestions on a price point for this? I'm decent at development, but I'm a complete noob at marketing and business.

Unfortunately no. The way it integrates into Excel is only available in Excel for Windows. Excel for Mac just doesn't have many ways you can talk to it (that I'm aware of).

Yeah, it was simple enough to change and VS was already open, so I figured why not change it right away... Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks a lot! Gosh, analytics instantly going up:)

by anakic 10y ago
Is the change in this posts name due to it being treated as a duplicate? My analytics have gone waaay down since that:(

Also, I wasn't the one posting it back then. I had posted it on reddit, and someone from there crossposted it to hn. Does that count?

Hi Dang. That's true, it's been less than a year:( It was a hobby project back then and I've switched to full time now. Trying to launch it properly now. I've done serious work in the meantime and lowered the price, and

Thanks a lot, I'm pretty proud of it!:) That's a good point, the version isn't really the important part, will do.

The project was initially a hobby but as of this month is my full time occupation. So the plugin is called ThingieQuery, and it's basically for people who spend time in Excel and are familiar with SQL. The point is to make working in s

Hey Pete, I just wanted to say thanks for posting this, it was a huge deal for my page views. Between reddit and hackernews, my webpage went from having about 100 visitors/day to having 10k in a single day! Thanks a bunch, and if you t

Thanks, I'm very glad to read it, and I'm excited as heck at all the positive feedback!

Yeah, I'm hoping it will be used that way also, since you can read and write data both by hand and using SQL and immediately see the effects.
