some of the comments on that thread are surprising. Are people not aware that software can be bundled in such a way as to run on machines not having internet access?
the background is this UI is the MotherDuck UI for their cloud SaaS app. MotherDuck is a VC-backed DuckDB SaaS company, not to be confused with DuckDB Labs or the DuckDB foundation
MotherDuck decided to take their web app UI and make it a locally usable extension via DuckDB. however as noted in that thread, the architecture is a bit odd as the actual page loads once the extension is running from MotherDuck’s servers (hence the online requirement)
I don’t think it’s intentionally malicious or bad design or anything, just how this extension came about (and sounds like they’re fixing it)
disclaimer: I do know and actively work with the MotherDuck folks, I’ve also worked w/ DuckDB Labs in the past
It's very weird they don't offer it by default, but there are workarounds.
(You can use it offline)

Thanks, any recommendations on where to find the best information reference/resource for DuckDB-Wasm?

Separate entities, but cooperative/comprised of many overlapping people, right?
Afaik no overlapping people
Anyone know if there is a similar selfhosted/run local option?
`duckdb -ui` and you can launch a local server bound to 127.0.0.1
