Unfortunately I don't have much experience with Go, I did try it for the sake of trying it, and I see your point, it is a bit more complicated to write code compared to JS/TS (two languages I know very well) or even Java (disclaim

I'm not doubting DHH skills as web developer, actually, the reason I've dedicated my time listening to the podcast and writing this post is because I kind-of see his point. However, during my 10 years career (which is nothing comp

Sure, if the product fits the market needs, some people will start using (and I can see there was an increase in CLI installations yesterday from NPM). So hypothetically yes, you can build trust overtime (Navicat has over 20 years of develo

Before I posted this, opensourcing this tool was something I would do in the far future. However, based on all the different threads, it is clear that in order to gain some trust I have to go opensource sooner rather than later.

I don't have much to showcase in the CLI department (in case of DataRamen CLI is just to start the local server), but the tool looks great.

Sure thing, I have to polish it a bit before getting any more exposure, once it is in a presentable state I will push it on Super Launch as well.

Makes sense. Following all the feedback in this post I will have to make a lot of changes, I will also think on this one. But you are probably right, incorporating the app as part of the CLI might make sense. I have a question: assume I mov

Yeah, the entire presentation is a mess, I should've worked more on this side. I see your concern about running it locally and then visiting a remotely hosted webapp. The way it works is that app.dataramen.xyz will call a localhost ser

> Companies have to start somewhere though, lots of software exists that never was open source I think koolba's point was not as much about the tool being open-source as it is for a tool that runs on your machine and accesses your d

Hi guys, thanks for all the feedback. After reading all the comments, I can see there are two big issues here: - The code is not open-sourced, and some people don't trust running it locally - The landing page does not clearly show&#x2F

It uses the CLI to connect to the database. When you start the tool, it creates a server on your localhost (localhost:4466), and acts as: - Local database: it stores some stuff locally, like saved queries or DB configurations - Query runner

This looks closer to something like Retool (an internal tooling builder), but yes, there is an overlap on some features

Yes, you can publish an NPM package without having a repository linked to it. Technically you can inspect the source code using "Code" feature on NPM, but in this case it is minified. You can see a lot of stuff tho (ex: query used

Not yet, but following the comments on this post I will likely open source the codebase. It will help to both improve trust in the product and provide a place to report issues publicly. This seems like a yargs compatibility issue (I kind of

by oleksandr_dem 1y ago
I did a lot of things wrong this time (I should've seen coming all the negative feedback I got). The lesson I learned is not rushing things. I will likely have to get a step back and to rethink some stuff (including landing page).

As mentioned in another comment, I used ChatGPT to improve grammar and rewrite a bit my messages. I stopped using it since.

I see your point. Since it's unlikely that I'll become a trusted entity anytime soon, open-sourcing it is probably the right thing to do to build some credibility.

by oleksandr_dem 1y ago
Yes, a lot of people have complained about this, and I totally get it, I messed up the presentation part. Improving the landing page will likely be my top priority following this post.

I do ask chatgpt to improve my messages, but the content is mine.

You're right, and you're not the only one who's raised this, totally fair concern. As a developer myself, I get why running a CLI tool that touches your databases without access to the source is a hard sell. I hadn’t initiall

Thanks! I was aiming for something fun and a little memorable — glad it landed well

by oleksandr_dem 1y ago
Totally understandable, your concerns are valid. I will have to figure out the CLI part, I would prefer to keep it private (at least for now), but I get it that people don't want to provide DB access to a completelly new tool. And yes,

You're absolutely right, I really dropped the ball on that. This is my first time launching a product like this, and I focused so much on building and writing the post that I overlooked the importance of visuals. The lack of screenshot
