Comment on Show HN: SchemafreeSQL – Data, Fluid as Code

I clicked on "The Solution" and saw this:

We considered using:

A SQL DB

A SQL DB with a JSON Column Type

A Document Store like Mongo

All fell short.

I thought that was uninformative. After leaving your site, I thought "maybe I could have clicked the items for more information". Sure enough, there was more information. However, I was then given items like "Create a 'brand' table". Is that a problem?

Moreover, why would someone solve these problems using your product rather than an existing, known, and trusted NoSQL alternative? Are you giving the owner of a business a good enough reason to give you their money?

This is a failure of the UI.

I believe you clicked on "A Document Store like Mongo" and saw "Create a 'brand' table" which then goes on to explain why a document store does not adequately solve the problem

The hope is that we are conveying a good enough reason to give us money. Thanks for you feedback
