#12Cool that it runs on Amiga. I’d love to see a local store use Amiga based UI for the warehouse. Also the fact it was started as another project in 1994 makes it double cool.

Guess you also didn’t see a site for a long time where you have to press buttons to do things instead of just scroll down? Not meant to be snarky: I got the same comment on our saas products. Guess people want ’sales sites’ to be one pagers; I don’t exactly know why. Personally I don’t see the difference between scrolling down or pressing buttons but he.
Convenience and familiarity.
I'm ashamed to admit, but I too expect to see screenshots and features listed inline on the landing page; it's been a common practice in the last 10 years or so.

Scrolling is untargeted, you just move the wheel or drag your fingers back and forth. Pressing buttons requires you to identify such elements, target and then click them. Both sound trivial, but they're different classes of trivial.

Interesting as I find the complete opposite for myself; I love the easy access to all options at the top instead of doom scrolling for possible information usually hidden between horrible animations that slide in and out, breaking natural scrolling etc.

The point of images in texts isn't to target illiterate users, either.
A tutorial for a graphical user interface would surely benefit from some screenshots of that very graphical user interface thrown in there.
The tutorial literally explains menus that pop up in text. Some screenshots would've helped.

#16Good morning, I wanted to introduce this little, unpretentious piece of software, which is intended as a small programmable database for hobbyists, like a mini Access but with a scripting language for those who like parentheses. Your opinions are welcome. Regards,
Is there any technical docs on internals? How it does I/O, caching, consistency, concurrency etc.?

#17How does it compare to MS Access or FileMaker?

#18Re: BeeBase, a programmable relational database with graphical user interface
#19Ok so first feedback. Launched app. Went to create a new table. Entered name : "users". Got error "Invalid name". Got confused, whats illegal about the name. After some time figured out that name must start with UPPER case latter.
This could have been the error message instead of generic "Invalid name".
