I’m honestly really blown away by this. Are there other such tools out there that do a similar thing?
https://github.com/dbgate/dbgate is an open source SQL IDE that automatically join data from other tables through a similar interface

#42This is literally my dream project I never had the time (or honestly technological expertise) to build...
I have some other very opinionated ideas on a couple other layers to this problem that I hope to try to investigate in the next 12 months or so

#43What GUI toolkit is this using? Is this native?
It's Java/Swing--same stack as IntelliJ. Though the IDE-like parts (window system etc.) are from the NetBeans IDE, which has a very good application development platform. Also a shoutout to Karl Tauber's excellent FlatLAF library ( https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf ).

#44Someone who builds something like this in form of an Excel plugin will have a real winner. And if you do, and when you make your millions, please send me a check as a show of gratitude :)
Excel plugins are unfit for this as the app enforces a perfect grid

#45Surprised there isn’t SQLite support. Perhaps it’s in the works. Also surprised this is a native app, would have expected a web application. In any case, compelling demo.
> Also surprised this is a native app, would have expected a web application. who is going to pay for a database access tool that requires you punch an incoming hole in your firewall?
The same idea/designer applied to a web based CRUD app development tool would do well though. If Airtable/Quickbase/etc took some of these ideas, it would be much faster to churn out CRUD apps.

#47My first ever programming gig was converting a small business's back-office MS Access database into a CRUD web application. Sure, I made it look all pretty, but if this had been available back then, I would've been out of a job! Super impressive work!

In Google Sheets I can merge cells horizontally or vertically, does Excel not have that?

#49Here’s some more information on Ultorg: > Ultorg creates general-purpose software that helps organizations manage their data. Based on a new method for interactive data visualization, our product combines ease-of-use with expressive power to allow end-users to query, display, and edit relational data, without resorting to custom programming. This fills a long-standing gap between spreadsheets and tailor-made database…

#50I like the idea. But I‘m turned off by the fact that there is no pricing information. Just a request access action button.
Maybe it’s vapor ware. Maybe they are checking market interest. Maybe they are looking for large pilot customers. I don’t see a product for me.
The discussion here is still interesting and I‘m grateful for the mentioned alternatives.
As for my pricing limits? Probably something between 10-50 USD per user per month, where at 10 USD I would very seriously look into it and at about 50 USD, I would have to carefully run the numbers.
