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?

LOL

>my Windows

If you're the kind of person who even knows what SQL, SQLite or hell even a database is, you already know SQLite runs on pretty much anything.

Why would you assume that's the kind of person you're responding to? Their question alone leads me to believe it's exactly not that kind of person.

Their question was sarcasm basically saying this site provides convenience by way of not needing any up front steps.
