I am really struggling to figure out what this is or how it provides value.

Edit:

This discussion isn't exactly what I was hoping for. I was looking for ways to better highlight the features or value proposition of this site. Not defenestrate it altogether.

E.g.: A simple modal that says "Welcome to SQLite Online! You can <core value proposition> with this tool." would have radically altered my initial perception.

For me: Try queries without the hassle of setting up a database. Learn SQL. Experiment. Etc.

    sqlite3 some-file.db
That's the whole "database setup" in case of SQLite.

How do I get this sqlite3 command to work on my Chromebook? When I type this in on my Windows machine it's not working either. Are there other steps I need to take first?

As a developer, on your development machine, if you use sqlite even infrequently, then no.

Anyone else, probably, but then why would you use this tool if you have no need for sqlite?
