Co-creator here! We wanted * A simple, flexible SQL client * A notebook interface that lets you drag stuff around and view things side-by-side * Query CSVs, JSON, and XLSX documents fully in-browser with Emscripten + SQLite * Postgres, MySQL and BigQuery through a local connection bridge. Your data never touches a third party server. I’ll be here with @antimatter15 for the rest of the morning answering questions!

Thank you so much for your great work! This is exactly the kind of post I visit HN for!

> Disconnected from SQLite (Error: Invalid LatLng object: (NaN, NaN)) Too bad, I was looking forward to that mapping demo. It might be just what I need. I'll try again in a few hours.

What browser are you using? It's working for me on chrome and safari.

Looks cool. Any plans for D3.js reporting integration? How would someone add their own reporting types?

Take a look at https://github.com/HVF/franchise/blob/master/src/cell/visual...

Basically, each visualization is a react widget with some static properties that define its icon / when to show it / etc.

This looks really cool! I've been meaning to learn SQL for a long time, but I'm unfortunately in an unrelated field. Could anyone recommend some resources for learning SQL? Preferable targeted towards an experienced programmer

Khan academy has a great in-browser environment for learning. Unfortunately the lessons are given in a tone that seems to be targeted towards middle-schoolers, so it can feel a bit irritating at times.

Hi,

Any plan to support jdbc so that it’s possible to connect to things such is HiveServer2/SparkSql?
