The assholes outnumber the good ones, and it feels like all of humanity is transactional and extractive. At first all engagement is exciting and validating. You work nights and weekends to please people you’ve never met, sure that one good

It’s an RFI, not an RFP. They are basically looking to build a list of vendors who might be interested in bidding an RFP or competing in a domain-relevant contest.

A. I was using the DuckDB CLI and kept hitting walls on analyses. Had a shower thought of “I wonder if anyone has used Textual for a DuckDB client” and decided to build one myself. B. This uses Textual, a python framework for TUIs. Python

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks!

I originally wrote this because sometimes a CLI or TUI is just super convenient. I used to use the DuckDB and Sqlite CLIs a lot, but was frustrated by their limitations, especially for doing data analysis work (my background).

Author here. Thanks for more love for Harlequin. I’ll be checking back and responding to feedback and questions for the next few hours.

Author here. If that disappointment fuels a half day of dev time, anyone who knows Python can just create their own adapter.

by tconbeer 3y ago
Fair enough (author here). I just launched support for any databases other than DuckDb and published a guide to create adapters for new dbs. I’m expecting the community to step up here, since I’d rather spend my time adding features to Harl

The Harlequin v1.0 release made it to the Front Page -- I'm back to announce v1.5, which adds support for other databases (and addresses the biggest feedback I got on HN).

Textual provides a utility for screenshotting apps. I loop over a list of themes and take the screenshots. You can see the code for that here: https://github.com/tconbeer/harlequin/blob/e666319b7a964f026...

DuckDB provides some really nice python APIs that other databases don't have, so it was a very easy way for me to get started. I'm considering/planning extending to other DBs using plugins. More info here: https://

Thanks for the feedback; gotten some of the same here. I've tried to be really thoughtful about using space and getting value out of every pixel. There are some features in Harlequin that make it nice on small screens, even with the pa

Right now there is no autocomplete inside the text editor, but that will be added soon. DuckDB itself provides an extension that adds a table function that can be queried for completions like so: select * from sql_auto_complete( 's

it's an issue with the highlight color. I'll get that fixed shortly.

It's a bit faster and easier than parquet, but right now the format is unstable, which is a huge downside and makes it unsuitable for medium/long-term storage. After DuckDB v1, they'll keep the format stable and then I think

It's great as: 1. An ephemeral processing engine. For example, I have a machine learning pipeline where I load data into a DataFrame, and then I can use DuckDB to execute SQL on my DataFrame (I prefer both the syntax and performance to

Hi everyone! I made this. Tried posting it to Show yesterday, glad this thread is getting more momentum! For the past four months I've been working (part-time, this is OSS after all) on Harlequin, a SQL IDE for DuckDB that runs in your
