Show HN: DataStation ā App to easily query, script, and visualize data
Hey folks! I quit my job at Oracle almost a year ago now to build DataStation. It's an app I've wanted as an engineering manager for years now.
DataStation helps you query a variety of data sources (conventional SQL like PostgreSQL and MySQL, non-SQL like Prometheus or Elasticsearch), files and HTTP APIs. It is not a SQL layer on top of these various APIs like FDW in Postgres or Apache Calcite. For Prometheus you query with PromQL. For Elasticsearch you query with Lucene. And for SQL databases you query with their SQL dialect.
DataStation is made of panels (other apps might call them cells) that each produce a result. Panels can refer to other panels. These allow you to build workflows that cross the boundary of a particular datasource. For example you might have some data in a CSV a product manager gave you and the bulk of your data is in PostgreSQL. DataStation helps you pull together these data sets and script them.
DataStation is mainly a desktop app today where the end result is that you export graph SVGS or HTML tables or markdown tables or just a CSV file. All this data stays on your laptop so it's as easy to use in a corporate environment as any existing SQL IDE or Jupyter Notebook.
In the last year it's reached 1.5k stars on Github, over 1000 unique users and currently on-average about 40 fairly active users per month (defined as having opened the app more than a few times).
DataStation is primarily an Electron app but the code that evaluates panels is written in Go.
You can find a ton of tutorials on how to interact with supported databases on the DataStation website: https://datastation.multiprocess.io/docs/.
Looking forward to your feedback!

Ask HN: Tools to visualize data in SQL database?
There are primarily a bunch of tutorials for getting started [0] (these are up to date) and some old videos (not up to date) [1].

Ask HN: What are you using for public documentation these days?
A markdown generator embeds markdown from a Github repo into the marketing site. This way the marketing site is kept private while anyone can easily contribute to docs.
Docs are kept in separate folders for each release.

Adding a simple light box in wiki.js
Wiki.js is a self hosted, open source Wiki that has a lot of awesome functionality. Unfortunately it's lacking some small, but important UI features, like a light box, to enlarge downsized images to it's full size. And unless you want to add a link to each image, to open it in a new tab, you would probably go for a modal view here.

How do you host documentation for your spouse or other users?
Can't think of anything that meets all the criteria, there's always some compromise, which might just be the way it is. For example I could 'self-host' otterwiki or wiki.js on a VPS for a pretty small monthly fee, which I could also use for other stuff that doesn't make sense for a home lab, but then I also need to deal with security since it's hosted on the internet. Or I could self-host and just accept that there's risk of it not being available when my wife needs it or if I die suddenly.

Documentation as Code for Cloud Using PlantUML
I love PlantUML. I was always fond of it in my early days as a software engineer and still use it today, along with all the various ways to draw diagrams out there, whether it's through a web tool like draw.io or Miro or through markup like PlantUML and Mermaid.
Some stuff I'd like to share with the rest:
- PlantUML's default style has improved since the days of red/brown borders, pale yellow boxes, drop shadows and such but I've attempted fixing it before through a preset style [I've made before here](https://gist.github.com/jerieljan/4c82515ff5f2b2e4dd5122d354...). It's obsolete nowadays, since I'm sure someone has made a style generator somewhere, and last I checked, PlantUML allows a monochrome style out of the box.
- [Eraser](https://app.eraser.io) is promising, considering that it's trying to blend both diagram-as-code markup along with the usual visual diagram editor. I'm still seeing if it's worth picking up since Miro's hard to beat.
- On an unrelated note, [WikiJS](https://js.wiki/) is a self-hosted wiki that happens to support draw.io, PlantUML and MermaidJS diagrams out of the box. Quite handy to have for your own docs.
- I use Miro nowadays since it's significantly quicker to draw things freeform and to collaborate live with folks on a whiteboard at the cost of having your diagrams in markup, but it's easy to miss the integration that [you can actually import PlantUML](https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/7004940386578) and Mermaid diagrams in a Miro board too. You can also do edits too, but it's on its own PlantUML section, of course.
