#4ZenQuery does something quite similar but for a variety of RDBMS: http://www.zenqry.com/
It's not limited to Heroku but can be used with any database connection URL. In fact, ZenQuery was modelled after Heroku Dataclips.

#6This looks pretty awesome! It is also worth mentioning Django SQL Explorer (https://github.com/epantry/django-sql-explorer), which has all of the presented features, as well as handy schema definition by the side. It also allows for parameters in the queries, which is very useful (e.g. leaving the timeframe customisable before running a query). With Django 1.8 now being easier to install/deploy to wherever, this is a great plugin to allow more people data access!

#7We use blazer[1] which is open source and lets you share queries just like this video demonstrates. It also has other nice features like composing results into charts and allowing interpolated values for generating queries with variable inputs. The demo[2] has examples for the features I mentioned.

I experienced the same problem here (37.0.2, Linux).
I also think a few screenshots would be nice; I rarely click on a video when commuting, especially if I don't have my earphones.
With that said I think this is a fantastic product idea.

#10Seems like a pretty dull service at face value. But actually works really well for my co-founder and I. Good work! Sorry for the bitter sweetness =D
