The assholes outnumber the good ones, and it feels like all of humanity is transactional and extractive. At first all engagement is exciting and validating. You work nights and wee…

It’s an RFI, not an RFP. They are basically looking to build a list of vendors who might be interested in bidding an RFP or competing in a domain-relevant contest.

harlequin-odbc was released today. https://harlequin.sh/docs/odbc/index

Not yet. What order would you like to see?

A. I was using the DuckDB CLI and kept hitting walls on analyses. Had a shower thought of “I wonder if anyone has used Textual for a DuckDB client” and decided to build one myself.…

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks!

I originally wrote this because sometimes a CLI or TUI is just super convenient. I used to use the DuckDB and Sqlite CLIs a lot, but was frustrated by their limitations, especially…

Author here. Thanks for more love for Harlequin. I’ll be checking back and responding to feedback and questions for the next few hours.

Author here. If that disappointment fuels a half day of dev time, anyone who knows Python can just create their own adapter.

Fair enough (author here). I just launched support for any databases other than DuckDb and published a guide to create adapters for new dbs. I’m expecting the community to step up …

The Harlequin v1.0 release made it to the Front Page -- I'm back to announce v1.5, which adds support for other databases (and addresses the biggest feedback I got on HN).

Textual provides a utility for screenshotting apps. I loop over a list of themes and take the screenshots. You can see the code for that here: https://github.com/tconbeer/harlequin…

Thank you!

Thanks! Hopefully coming to v2 ... https://github.com/tconbeer/harlequin/issues/230

DuckDB provides some really nice python APIs that other databases don't have, so it was a very easy way for me to get started. I'm considering/planning extending to other DBs using…

Thanks for the feedback; gotten some of the same here. I've tried to be really thoughtful about using space and getting value out of every pixel. There are some features in Harlequ…

Right now there is no autocomplete inside the text editor, but that will be added soon. DuckDB itself provides an extension that adds a table function that can be queried for compl…

TIL about LazyGit. Looks excellent. Thanks for the tip, and the UI feedback

fair feedback!

it's an issue with the highlight color. I'll get that fixed shortly.

It's a bit faster and easier than parquet, but right now the format is unstable, which is a huge downside and makes it unsuitable for medium/long-term storage. After DuckDB v1, the…

It's great as: 1. An ephemeral processing engine. For example, I have a machine learning pipeline where I load data into a DataFrame, and then I can use DuckDB to execute SQL on my…
