the app asked me for access to read text and images of my clipboard yeah, that's the browser asking for permission to read and write to the clipboard

it seems like your app can read anything of my clipboard at any time only when you paste, the app reads the latest entry in your clipboard, and only if it is a valid json object of a table, note, or subject area, it gets imported

just using the clipboard api: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard_A...

If 100 people per month can pay 50$, that's 5k which is very nice for a side project!

sounds too good to be true xd

For myself, I absolutely would love this as a Django plugin!

after migrations, will be adding orms. or some plug in system for anyone to add whatever they want. don't know how but would be a fun feature to work on

Have been building drawDB[1] for a while now. It's a database schema visualizer. Currently working on adding support for oracle databases. Wrote a parser[2] to allow importing from oracle sql. Have been struggling with motivation though, the pieces are pretty much there but I've been procrastinating on putting it all together. This has been my main side project for almost 2 years now.. I miss the feeling of novelty.. but can't come up with something worth building..idk

Why we picked AGPL 2 years ago

None. I made it for people to use and open sourced for people to see and contribute. I just don't want someone else to sell it. That's it.

Why we picked AGPL 2 years ago

I totally get this. I recently changed the license on my project from MIT to AGPL after getting a dm from someone interested in buying the project. I make absolutely no money at the moment, if anything I'm paying out of pocket for the domain, and don't think will any time soon. My only goal was to protect the project from getting commercialized by someone else. I've gotten questions about it and have been questioning whether I got too scared that someone might monetize what I worked so hard on.

I have a project that has the frontend hosted on Vercel and a small simple service on Render both on the free plans. Vercel analytics is off at the moment because I've hit the limit for the free plan, but as of last week we got 1600-1700 unique visitors daily on average. In the last 30 days, my deployment has had 1.6 million edge requests and consumed about 146GB for fast data transfer. You can probably get away with the free plans for a moderate amount of traffic and then scale as needed.

I'm working on https://github.com/drawdb-io/drawdb trying to optimize the editor and have it lag less when the number of tables increases. Also have some highly requested features I'd like to implement before launching on Product Hunt.

Then I wanted a change of pace and started on something so ambitious that it's stupid... I'm trying to make a web browser from scratch I guess. So far tokenizing the html is going fine but I'm not sure how far I'll be able to get.

Hello!

I recently released an app to design database diagrams and export them to SQL. The app has only a limited set of datatypes which can be inconvenient so I've been thinking of making the diagrams DBMS specific. I need opinions on how to proceed:

1. Make the diagrams DBMS specific 2. Keep them generic with a limited set of types but export to multiple SQL flavors.

Thank you:)
