Yes, Tad should be pretty easy to embed -- in the github repo there's a React component (TadViewerPane), and a fairly modular API for adding a new data source. I'm happy to work wi…

Very impressive project and vision! Love the demo! I am also ex-GS and worked on what I am fairly sure is the table display tool you're describing. I tried to carry the essential a…

I think you're referring to Tad ( https://www.tadviewer.com ), which I developed. Tad isn't "the GUI tool for DuckDb"; it's a desktop app that provides a pivot table based viewer f…

I can understand how the older callback API for node.js might form a negative impression, but it's really not indicative of the maturity of the core db engine at all. And remember:…

For what it's worth, since folks are mentioning other extensions, my full-featured tab manager extension, Tabli ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabli/igeehkedfibb... ) …

I don't want to dissuade you if curses-based UIs are your thing. But one thing that's been crucial to me from Day 1 is that you can type "tad foo.csv" at the command line and immed…

Absolutely all the analysis (including filtering) works by generating SQL queries and that SQLite evaluates. Tad doesn't generate any table indices, and I'd be reticent about addin…

Really sorry about this! I do specify Tad as a handler for CSV files, but becoming the default handler was not my intent at all; I will look into what's causing this.

All great feedback, thanks! Some quick replies: - The omission of ' ' from the operator list was just an embarrassing mistake on my part. #facepalm #WILLFIX - Also agree that a dro…

Good points and great suggestions, thanks!

I don't think I ever claimed it was better than Excel, which is targeted at different set of users and use cases. That said, here are some reasons why some users might prefer Tad t…

I invested some effort to keep it performant even with fairly large CSV files, including a custom port of some C++ code for fast CSV import. My current favorite example is the Met …

Great suggestions for the landing page, thank you!

This died on the vine when initially posted two months ago; main comments then were complaints it was "mac only". Yesterday's release (0.8.4) includes binaries and installers for m…

Tough crowd! Code is not OS-dependent in any way; I just haven't tested or pre packaged binaries for these other platforms yet. Anyway, sources all on github; I would welcome your …

Thanks for pointing this out! Was due to some unfortunate scaling happening because the image was just slightly bigger than the CSS for the page would accomodate; now fixed.

Thanks! Will definitely aim for Windows and Linux builds in the near future. The app itself is built in ES6 on Electron and has virtually no OS-specific dependencies, so I don't an…

Hmmm, this seems like a minimalist version of my tab manager, Tabli: http://www.gettabli.com Tabli is based on a similar concept (being able to save sets of tabs with a meaningful …

Thanks for the bug report. I have seen that happen intermittently but have never managed to find a reliable repro. There's a long-standing open issue on github for it: https://gith…

Another useful tab manager extension for Chrome is Tabli ( http://www.gettabli.com ), which I created and submitted as a "Show HN" last October ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?…

There's another extension that does something like what you propose called one-tab: http://www.one-tab.com/ Those that use One Tab seem to love it, and if it fits the way you want …

Thanks! This was not my first project with React, but it was a playground for me to experiment with some novel React ideas (like css-in-js) and different ways of structuring the ap…

Thanks, glad you like it. Tabli wasn't searchable in the Chrome store for the rather silly reason that I hadn't gotten around to making promotional tiles. I just made some mediocre…
