This looks awesome. I'm the target audience. I do quite a bit of development around SQL Server and there's an endless stream of CSV and XLSX files coming and going that need spot…

pretty cool seeing someone care about a good ui for this kind of tool - always annoys me when the workflow is clunky, you think people actually care more about small features or…

A few hours ago this would have been useful, I will probably give it a try in few days. On another note, I recommend clarifying in the heroes page that it's about a one-time…

I don't know. We had a pretty well established model that included free updates, but required a new purchase for a new major version down the line. I think that worked pretty well.

Feels like `clickhouse local` or `duckdb` with a price tag. Especially since duckdb even has a nice UI now.

this is a tarpit idea I've fallen into multiple times. It's really hard to make money from a desktop SQL client, let alone now that DuckDB has a good, free UI.

Have you seen duckdb? https://duckdb.org/ It's basically what you're building, but more low-level. Really cool, to be honest -- serves the same market too. Do you have any…

Congrats on launching, but this feels like an uphill climb to get paying customers. You need to find the intersection of potential customers that know SQL but don't want to use…

>The license entitles you to receive lifetime updates for the major version. Where does it say that? That is common and it is the model I use for my own software. But that isn't…

Ok, it says that further down the pricing page. I don't see how that fits with "Perpetual license Lifetime updates". It feels deceptive.

Quick question - is it possible to import multiple files at once? I frequently get ZIP files full of csv/xlsx files that I need to search through. I didn't see a way to import…

Congratulations. I do see value in quickly seeing, querying files in a nice desktop interface. I am curious why there is no parquet support though. If duckdb is running in the…

You might have a wider audience if you put in on the app store. I only install very well-known software outside of the app store. For anything more niche, I need it to be on the…

I could use this. Questions: What file sizes have you tested? What about a directory with similar CSV files - I have a use case where similar structure CSV, 2 TB data broken into…

This does seem pretty neat. Any plans to expand to include XML as well?

For CSV files you can also import them directly into a SQLite file using https://sqlitebrowser.org/ XLSX would be the same workflow with "save as" CSV and then push it into SQLite.

To be completely honest I tend to use either powershell or Nushell to query these sorts of files. I do also use sqlite as well when needed.

Another tool in the same vein is 'q': https://harelba.github.io/q/
