      Sir, what is SQL database designer?

        There is a link to it in my comment. It allows you to graphically design and modify your database by applying high level constructs such as buttons, checkboxes and select drop down lists, instead of having to write SQL DDL manually.

    Showed our experimental app to a potential user last week and the next day he emailed us saying a colleague saw him using it and said "what the h*ll are you using?! This is amazing!"

    He shared that quote with us and it was great to hear.

    Also, one person has entered the planning contest we posted on dev.to ; and he left a very encouraging reply.

    I was successful in creating a FQL query (FaunaDB), which looked up a document and based on some IDs within the document, I could select those and look up the corresponding document from another collection. Very helpful for what I was trying to do.

    I learned that Salesforce (something I simply knew existed for ~5 years) is more than just Business™ stuff, there's a whole Salesforce Developer branch/path within. And believe it or not, there's a whole amazing, helpful community tied to it just like web development! Pretty neat. Another direction to stretch some Java and JavaScript skills 🧑‍💻
