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

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
