Thank you all! Special thanks to those who offered a fresh perspective and helped reveal the project’s challenges.


Thank you for your feedback. The idea was to make the product understandable without additional explanations, but it seems I didn’t achieve that. I have a lot to improve.


Thank you. Our entire life is but a moment: something disappears, and something new emerges.


> You can <core value proposition>

It may be difficult to briefly describe all the website’s capabilities right now, but the key features include:

  * Federated queries across external and internal data sources.

  * Using query history as a source for new requests.

  * Collaborative access to databases — both server and local, with structure synchronization.

  * Automatic chart generation based on queries.

  * And much more, including hidden features that are not yet easy to summarize.

Thank you


Use Shift + Enter to run the script.


fair enough, but ctrl-enter is a convention used reasonably widely, so sometimes, there's safety in numbers :-)


Yes, we plan to add starter tips with explanations of their purpose.


Just to offer another perspective: I think the way your website works right now is actually very nice and the person you’re replying to is wrong. When I go to godbolt.org, it similarly puts me on the screen where I actually want to be, as a person that wants to use that tool.

I think an “About” page or docs would greatly help people that want to know all of the features offered by the site, but I think the default of dropping you into the tool is ideal.


It is quite possible that this will be the case.


Thank you! I will strive to improve the interface and make it more intuitive.


Could you please advise where the issue might be?


Not the parent, but I see that several messages related to buying a subscription are translated into the locale of my browser. In my language, it just feels a little amateurish. In other languages, perhaps it might contain something totally wrong.

So it will be safer to just use languages you are comfortable with, like English and Russian. Especially on pages that concern money. :)


Thank you. I used an LLM for translation, hoping to achieve a high-quality result and make the service convenient for users. It seems I was mistaken.


I aim to make the product convenient and as straightforward as possible. It's better to extend its use when needed than to worry about when to stop.


The person is saying that the description says "subscription" which by definition automatically renews


Not the definition of a subscription. See: magazines, traditionally purchased with one-time annual payments.


Well, those still recur automatically


To my recollection, not the old fashioned kind where you send in a check/money order for the annual subscription.


No, I mean they recur monthly for the prepaid duration. The SQLite online is simply 1 term of access. There's no recurrence of any kind.


Alright I’ll just head over to the dictionary.

Emphasis mine, as long as the item is periodic in nature it’s a subscription. The SQLite online membership has a term of access so it’s a subscription.

3: an arrangement for providing, receiving, or making use of something of a continuing or periodic nature especially on a prepayment plan: such as

a: a purchase by prepayment for a certain number of regular deliveries of something (such as issues of a periodical) or for a certain period of access to or use of something (such as an online service)

b: application to purchase securities of a new issue

c: a method of offering or presenting a series of public performances d (British): membership dues
