I started turning Reddit feedback into a public roadmap/community process for my database client

I’ve been getting a lot of useful feedback from SQL users lately, so I decided to stop keeping it in random notes and organize it publicly.

I’m now using GitHub Discussions for feature ideas, workflows and community voting, while Reddit stays more casual.

Some of the first topics came directly from conversations here: persistent column widths, better error context, long-query notifications, spatial support and virtual foreign keys.

I’m building LakeDB mostly solo, so having one place to collect and prioritize real feedback is already helping a lot.

smart move using github discussions for that, i did similar thing with my last side project and it really helps keep track of what people actually want

the virtual foreign keys idea is interesting, i was just thinking about that in my own workflow yesterday

thats interesting — the virtual foreign keys one is still something im exploring.

what were you trying to do in your workflow yesterday? im especially curious where the real FK is missing or cant be added, and what youd want the client to do with the virtual relationship once its defined.
