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.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This method is not available on all devices and does not support sharing or collaboration. The website, however, works on any platform and allows working together in a single shared database.

> This method is not available on all devices and does not support sharing or collaboration. The parent cites "hassle of creating the database" and does not mention sharing or collaborating. I showed that it doesn't get more hassle-free than this and doesn't even require connectivity (which might be a problem "on some devices" or "in some locations").

> doesn't even require connectivity (which might be a problem "on some devices" or "in some locations").

You are just trying to prove a point instead of understanding it.

> "hassle of creating the database" and does not mention sharing or collaborating.

He might just have summarized everything as "hassle of creating the database".

Not everything on internet is supposed to be a debate with highly and carefully developped wording.

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.

Cool project. Congrats for keeping it up for so long! Could you share some numbers like a ballpark of subscribers?

Thank you, unfortunately, almost zero.

It's weird you show the price in some currency I don't even know what it is (even if it says 10 dollars small next to it).

Just show and charge 10 USD. You can localize that other currency (Rubles?) if GeoIP matches.

Agree with your edit saying that there should be a landing message that gives a quick overview. But with in a few moments I was able to see that you can create a database and then start inserting tables/records into it. Seems like a pretty good tool to learn how to create and manage a database without the hassle of having to download sqlite and start testing commands that might be new to you in the CLI

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.

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