how does collaboration works for SQLite, since the db is embedded?

When you upload a database to the site, it is stored in your browser's memory or uses OpFS — a local storage within your browser. You can share a link to grant access to your database, with the connection handled via P2P through WebRTC.

Thank you, unfortunately, almost zero.

hey, not to give you "armchair" advice, but I feel like a tool that's existed for 11 years and has 11k daily users is a super serious achievement. I'd vicariously love for you to be able to make some/more revenue with this! +1 on @redox99's comment that charging in rubles is most probably confusing, and that a flat $10 usd/month would be easier. I also would think that renewal should actually be on by default, not of…

As a Brit, I'd rather GBP...

Isn't this comment a form of US defaultism?

for sure, my point was that usd would already be "better" (more common) than rubles - but yes, 'localized' currencies would be great too (although setting up "adaptive pricing" is a task in itself). baby steps :-)

As a rabbit, I'd rather carrots...

My point was more about the original comment is fine from the perspective of an American, but for the rest of the world, it doesn’t really matter if it is USD or rubles - it’s still a foreign transaction. I appreciate that for a large percentage of the world, consumers can probably do an approximation of the USD conversion in their head, and not a rubles one, and therefore, USD may be more friendly. That being said, the sales page has already got the approximation in USD anyway, which would be enough for me.

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.

I had the same reaction, why not just use the command line interface?

From there, I guess the value this adds is:

1. There is a UI, i.e. it has some autocomplete of sql syntax and it shows tables in a ... tabular format.

2. As others have mentioned, there are sharing features. Yes you could share a .db file, but with this you can also send a link viewable in a browser, with specific queries, etc.

#1 reminds me of MS Access from back in the day. Those were sql dbs underneath, but they had some interfaces to show you how to build queries. It wasn't a bad way to dip your toes into the basics of sql.

It's possible the local legislation disallows charging in non-local currency. Eg. can you charge in rubles in USA?

Sure, you could charge in hotdogs if you wanted to.

I laughed, thank you for this.

Unsolicited suggestion: since some people are asking "what is this".

Maybe buy a new domain name like below (and direct to your existing from this new url).

  EasyLearnSQL.com
  TrySQLonline.com
  LearnOnlineSQL.com
All of these domain names are available for sale under $10.

And the more descriptive name might allow you to not have to change the UI.

(Very cool project by the way and congrats on 11 years)
