What GUI toolkit is this using? Is this native?
Looks like Java Swing to me, or something in that area. This isn't open source, but the author's github has primarily Java projects including an old swingx fork. https://github.com/eirikbakke?tab=repositories

#52I 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…
As far as I can tell it's above beta quality, so definitely not vaporware.

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
Excel plugins are unfit for this as the app enforces a perfect grid
In Google Sheets I can merge cells horizontally or vertically, does Excel not have that?
Still, it's unmanageable to replicate the grid in TFA (TFV?) by merging/un-merging cells

#55I've been using Hasura and TablePlus a lot lately, and actually wished for something that combines them. Hasura is great at understanding relations and making joins feel effortless and TablePlus is so good at making table editing feel as fast as excel. This looks like it's the thing, with some extra power thrown on top (formulas and nested layouts are nice!). The UI looks drab, but maybe that's ok? It means the funct…

#56Someone 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 :)
Are Excel plugins really a valid market? I know there are some but I wonder what the size of the entire segment is... 95%+ [ of places will never allow installation of anything extra!

#57Surprised 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.
A bunch of the database IO in it is JDBC based, so a web app probably isn’t going to happen.

#58I’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
I really like Ultorg's grasp of how to display 3-dimensional+ data. That form generator shown in the video was really smart too.
