I'd highly suggest getting a designer, or somehow thinking with more of a product mindset? I fail to understand what it does quickly, which shouldn't happen to a potential customer.

And what currency is it in? Seems so odd to not put it in dollars or euros.

And FURTHERMORE, the $ sign is incorrectly to the right of the numbers. It should be $10. Personally, this shows such a lack of product thinking, and simply hacking away at a tool instead of delivering a service.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For me: Try queries without the hassle of setting up a database. Learn SQL. Experiment. Etc.

> For me: Try queries without the hassle of setting up a database. sqlite3 some-file.db That's the whole "database setup" in case of SQLite.

How do I get this sqlite3 command to work on my Chromebook? When I type this in on my Windows machine it's not working either. Are there other steps I need to take first?

It’s possible you’re not the target audience?

I guess if the target audience is people who already know what it is?

No, please. Don't inflate the team to something that would need investors. It's cool that an alter-Web can exist without 10 person teams.

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

I mean, it does clearly say it's 1,000₽ which is Russian rubles. Why would the price be listed in dollars if it's not being collected in dollars?

It is quite possible that this will be the case.

The paid subscription lists this feature: > No auto-renewal That's not subscription.

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

Devils advocate: when Google launched it was just a blank form field.

Similar to ChatGPT.

But those who knew what it is, their usage is huge.

I am really struggling to figure out what this is or how it provides value. Edit: This discussion isn't exactly what I was hoping for. I was looking for ways to better highlight the features or value proposition of this site. Not defenestrate it altogether. E.g.: A simple modal that says "Welcome to SQLite Online! You can with this tool." would have radically altered my initial perception.

It's clear that the tool is highly useful to the people who use it. That being said, I feel like I'm dumped into the playground without understanding what I am playing with. A few short paragraphs, examples, screenshots, explanations, ect, would go very far.

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