Show HN: PopSQL and SeekWell were shutting down, so I built the replacement

#1
My team used PopSQL and SeekWell to get data from our DBs into Google Sheets on a schedule while also sharing a library of company specific SQL queries. Both were shutting down, so I built a replacement covering just the parts we actually used: connect a database, write and share SQL, schedule the results to Sheets or Slack.

Yes, a cron job running a python script does the same thing for free. But getting non-technical teammates to use that is the hard part, and that's really what this solves.

Another thing I strongly believe is that data belongs to everyone in the company. People will figure out use cases when they have access to the data, and people are way more productive when the access is not gatekeeped.

It's narrow on purpose, and I'm happy to build almost anything people need in a tool like this. What would you want to see?

Is this something one can self host? data does not leave the premises narrative is holding very strong in enterprises. We recently rolled out deepsql.ai - AI DBA as SaaS and quickly realized that anything that connects or touches the enterprise data, can't be a SaaS. We had to open source it. Just sharing some learnings! good luck...
