The UI aesthetics look similar to the excellent Rill, also powered by DuckDB: https://www.rilldata.com/

Rill has better built in visualizations and pivot tables and overall a polished product with open-source code in Go/Svelte. But the DuckDB UI has very nice Jupyter notebook-style "cells" for editing SQL queries.






Rill founder here, I have no comment on the UI similarity :) but I would emphasize our vision is building DuckDB-powered metrics layers and exploratory dashboards -- which we presented at DuckCon #6 last month, PDF below [1] -- and less on notebook style UIs like Hex and Jupyter.

Rill is fully open-source under the Apache license. [2]

I love HN. Random comments about some service out there and replies are like "I am the founder" or "I wrote that".

WhatTheDuck does SQL with duckdb-wasm

Pygwalker does open-source descriptive statistics and charts from pandas dataframes: https://github.com/Kanaries/pygwalker

ydata-profiling does open-source Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) with Pandas and Spark DataFrames and integrates with various apps: https://github.com/ydataai/ydata-profiling #integrations, #use-cases


xeus-sqlite is a xeus kernel for jupyter and jupyterlite which has Vega visualizations for sql queries: https://github.com/jupyter-xeus/xeus-sqlite

jupyterlite-xeus installs packages specified in an environment.yml from emscripten-forge: https://jupyterlite-xeus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/environmen...

emscripten-forge has xeus-sqlite and pandas and numpy and so on; but not yet duckdb-wasm: https://repo.mamba.pm/emscripten-forge


duckdb-wasm "Feature Request: emscripten-forge package" https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb-wasm/discussions/1978

pygwalker also have a kernel compuataion mode which allows you to use duckdb to handle all queries from pygwalker UI.

Is there a video of your talk?

Yes thanks to DuckCon team it’s here:

https://youtu.be/_IqvrFWY7ZM?si=1ux9SGUsh4kDs-ff

Alongside several great talks including Rusty Conover presenting Airport - Arrow + DuckDB — and Christophe Blefari (Bl3f) introducing a new, lightweight orchestrator called yato.


Thank you for the additional recommendations!

Hamilton Ulmer was involved in both. Back when Twitter was a thing it was really cool to follow his process.
