Enhancing Product Dissemination for Unskilled Users

[ckirilov]

Hi everyone,

SQLPage is an interesting idea and a promising product, but I believe it needs better dissemination and more comprehensive tutorials. Researchers in the humanities could be a significant user group, but they require more resources than what is currently available.

SQLPage is advertised as very user-friendly, and it certainly is. However, a few YouTube tutorials demonstrating the creation of a website from start to finish would be extremely beneficial. At present, there is only a recorded talk and a semi-tutorial, which are not particularly informative.

Trust me, you have a huge potential user base. As a humanitarian myself, I have no issues with SQLPage, but many in the humanities are not familiar with SQL, let alone how a SQLite (or any other) database works. While they may understand databases conceptually and can define the right cardinalities, they often have no idea how to implement or interact with a database. They typically rely on programmers to build custom applications, but there are not many programmers willing to work wholeheartedly with underfunded research institutions.

I wish you all the best and hope this great product continues to improve.

Hi @ckirilov !

@alexisrc1 has recently started a YouTube video series about SQLPage. Could you have a look and give your feedback?

All the files used in the tutorials are available here. Let us know what you think! More videos are coming soon, explaining some of the key concepts in detail.
