What a nice tool. Thank you for building and maintaining the product. I casually use it to validate SQL joins
Unsolicited suggestion: since some people are asking "what is this".
Maybe buy a new domain name like below (and direct to your existing from this new url).
EasyLearnSQL.com
TrySQLonline.com
LearnOnlineSQL.com
And the more descriptive name might allow you to not have to change the UI.
(Very cool project by the way and congrats on 11 years)
Cool project. Congrats for keeping it up for so long!
Could you share some numbers like a ballpark of subscribers?
It might be a good idea to not attempt an WebRTC connection right away. Since you're only using it for collaboration, there's no need to connect right away.
Privacy minded users might have it disabled by default since it's a good fingerprinting source.
Currently the website doesn't load if WebRTC is disabled.
Thank you all! Special thanks to those who offered a fresh perspective and helped reveal the project’s challenges.
11 years of making SQL learning easier, that's what passion looks like!
Impressive, congrats! I‘m building https://sql-workbench.com which is similar, but focussed on DuckDB WASM instead of SQLite… Love that you offer different databases.
I get this message:

I am really struggling to figure out what this is or how it provides value.
Edit:
This discussion isn't exactly what I was hoping for. I was looking for ways to better highlight the features or value proposition of this site. Not defenestrate it altogether.
E.g.: A simple modal that says "Welcome to SQLite Online! You can <core value proposition> with this tool." would have radically altered my initial perception.
I think the design not that bad but that green disclaimer appears on the first visit is kinda too long and nobody wants to read that in a mobile even in PC, so it might be cartoonized for the user to better understand it :)

Also where is it based ? And your payment processor ?
I like to support learning platforms like this financially, when they work of course, but that's going to be a problem if you're based in Russia.
How do you make money?
This is a really nice tool, I use to practise my SQLite.
Thanks for tool! I've been using this for conducting interviews.
I immediately tried to run .schema and a syntax error was returned.
Молодец!
This reminds me a lot of RavenDB. I'm impressed.
Amazing that SQLite Online has survived solo for 11 years. What technical or business pivots have kept it alive (and relevant) across changing web stacks and user expectations?
wow that's a lot of users, congratulations. It says sqliteonline but it seems you support other db's as well.
What is the WebRTC connection used for?
Great job and many kudos for the determination to maintain a tool for 11 years!
I thankfully have no use for the tool since I no longer have to code SQL - the world is a better place for it.
It raises the question how many more "bus tools"[1] are there? Tools maintained and developed by a single developer with whom, when hit by a bus, the tool would die.
[1] no offence meant but "bus developers" is the term I learnt, it seems a little cruel to speak of folks being hit by buses - is there something better nowadays?
I'd highly suggest getting a designer, or somehow thinking with more of a product mindset? I fail to understand what it does quickly, which shouldn't happen to a potential customer.
thank you for doing this, congratulations
What is it?
Don't localise messages if you don't have anyone to proofread. Browsers have built in translation nowadays that users can activate if they need.
The paid subscription lists this feature:
> No auto-renewal
That's not subscription.
this is fire. I didn't know that it have remote+memory db for testing
suggest adding "execute query on ctrl-return"

Ok, you also have a popup in your website showing that off.
Cool, but, you're not breaking any Guinness world record.
There are solo founders behind many websites and tools and you might not even know that.
A potential sales tip: Going down the list of the $10 plan the first thing I saw was the 300 scripts limit and thought "no way". Pay attention to how supabase does it, basically no limits except compute and storage.
Your tool has been a huge help in the classroom over the past decade, thank you!
Having a quick online link to get students started is really useful from a student motivation standpoint. This allows them to get a sense of the query flow before having to set up their own database or moving on to other DBMSes.
Congratulations on 11 years!
