squashql VS draw.io

I am building a SQL like query engine with a typescript query builder. It aims to provide multidimensional query capabilities (think about olap cube). The query engine is compatible with several databases (sucks, clickhouse, bigqueryx, snowflake...). Our users are developers building decision making applications. They are using for instance duckdb to develop locally their application and use a cloud provider in production. Here's the link https://github.com/squashql/squashql. Feel free to ask me any questions.

I am building a sort of SQL query engine compatible with several databases (bigquery, snowflake, duckdb, clickhouse, spark) in order to add more power to the SQL query language bringing multi dimensional capabilities to SQL (and more). The project was released few months ago and available on GitHub https://github.com/squashql/squashql

I am building squashql-js for a slightly different use case (database agnostic SQL-like Typescript query builder among others) but Kysely and pypika (for Python) have been a great source of inspiration.

At first I thought this was drawio: https://www.drawio.com/ with which you can generate a schema diagram from SQL. Is this the other way around.

For anyone who is willing to use a webapp, I like drawio[0]. You can download locally[1] and self host (I just use the python webserver).

While finding the Github, I see they now actually package an Electron application, so that is probably worth exploring[2].

draw.io works nicely for flowcharts and other types of diagrams.

Another way that you can leverage the power of ChatGPT and mermaid is when you are using a software designing tool such as Draw.io and you want to skip the tedious task of creating a diagram from scratch and want to get a push at the begging and save your time for the creative part of the diagram.

There are also mockups with more features, so ignore weird UI at first.

Answer:

With such phrasing, for now, I'll consider drawio proprietary with some parts in Apache 2 (even if it's actually the majority of the code).

It might be possible to have a fork with some optional features related to these non provided files removed, if by luck no critical feature is impacted.

Specifically I've been working on an incremental game and I've been using https://www.drawio.com/ to help me plan out what I want the progression of features/unlocks to be as the player progresses through the game, what pre-requirements/events are for each feature/unlock, etc.
