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.
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.
How would you proceed?
I experimented with this for five minutes, and so far it looks great. The one thing missing, or that I didn't see in five minutes, is that when I uploaded the schema for one of our SQLite databases, the tables came out perfectly, but the views were ignored. There are a lot of views, and we would want them in the diagram. I will definitely be coming back to it. As I say, what I saw was great.
If you wanted to commercialise this, then you could do it on a feature basis.
Create a paid version where you add more features, like support for views.
