<p>2 years ago I launched drawDB on here. It was my very first project that I open-sourced and it ended up going kinda viral. A month ago I launched drawDB Pro for solo devs and teams. It was actually my manager that encouraged me to go build it to help with my promotion :3<p>The project has come a long long way. It started as a simple canvas with local storage and now we have proper cloud storage, team permissions, real-time collaboration, AI assistant, versioning, MCP, etc. Now I'm trying to figure out all the stuff beyond development although most of it is outside my comfort zone for now.<p>You can try it out here: <a href="https://www.drawdb.app/" rel="nofollow">https://www.drawdb.app/</a>. You don't need an account or a card.<p>I'd love to hear your feedback. How would you (or your agents) use something like this in your workflow? Or what would you like to see?</p>

<p>On-device CPU inference is the real flex here. Optimization probably mattered as much as modeling.</p>

<p>>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<p>>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<p>just using the clipboard api: <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard_API" rel="nofollow">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard_A...</a></p>

<p>>If 100 people per month can pay 50$, that's 5k which is very nice for a side project!<p>sounds too good to be true xd<p>>For myself, I absolutely would love this as a Django plugin!<p>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</p>

<p>where i'm currently based, every single cent that can be considered income is tracked and taxed. plus i would have to declare its origin. so there's definitely some legal set up before monetization</p>

<p>hehe mine was up and running way before theirs. but we have diverged quite a bit. might be biased but i think mine is easier to jump right in. mine is more like the draw.io of database editors while theirs is the miro, yk?</p>

<p>thank you!<p>regarding the sql import, it breaks because of the parser. i'm using a 3rd party parser to parse sql and pull out everything needed for the diagram. i'll report it to them, thanks for letting me know</p>

<p>One year ago I open-sourced my very first 'real' project and shared it here. I was a college student in my senior year and desperately looking for a job. At the time of sharing it i couldn't even afford a domain and naively let someone buy the one i had my eyes on lol. It's been a hell of a year with this blowing up, me moving to another country, and switching 2 jobs.<p>In a year we somehow managed to hit 26k stars, grow a 1000+ person discord community, and support 37 languages. I couldn't be more grateful for the community that helped this grow, but now i don't know what direction to take this project in.<p>All of this was an accident. But now I feel like I'm missing out on not using this success. I have been thinking of monetization options, but not sure if I wanna go down that route. I like the idea of it being free and available for everyone but also can't help but think of everything that could be done if committed full-time or even had a small team. I keep telling myself(and others) i'll do something if i meet a co-founder, but doubt and fear of blowing this up keeps back.<p>How would you proceed?</p>
