So, uh, how does one use this, eh?

[richardtomkins]

I read the readme.md, ten times. I did not find a "HOW TO USE" or a "GETTING STARTED", or any other, "HERE'S WHAT YOU DO CAUSE IT'S NON-INTUITIVE INSTRUCTIONS" . How do you do it, make it work, use it, as it were?

Hi,

there is no need to shout, I can hear you loud and clear.

It is not actually exactly clear what do you mean by using the application, as there are several possible usage scenarios.

If you want to just see the app, I would suggest clicking the very first external link on its GitHub page, the one that leads to the publicly hosted version.

Once you see the UI, you might be having some hard time navigating the app and/or understanding its concepts (those are tighly related to how RDBMSs work). This is where the GitHub Wiki comes into play: the Manual page provides some insights about the features available and the user interface.

You might also want to install and host the app yourself for various reasons. This is the typical GitHub drill: install git, clone the repo, use the app. Generally speaking, these steps are described in the Installation wikipage.

Finally, for advanced users, a guide to Extending the app is available.

Hello,

The first external link on this page is a YouTube video. github repository https://github.com/ondras/wwwsqldesigner

Sorry, I was not shouting, I was expressing shear frustration.

All the best

Oh right, yeah, I see that now, ...

not on this page https://github.com/ondras/wwwsqldesigner/wiki

aw, there you are https://github.com/ondras/wwwsqldesigner

I must admit that I did not see the link, up there above all the other github file directory stuff.

I apologize, a great deal and I suppose you could also say I'm embarrassed.

A very nice looking product, although the default data display appears to have disappeared and now it's a grid with nothing on top. Cool though.

Okay, I will make this somewhat more visible :)

Can you elaborate a bit on this? Perhaps by adding a screenshot? I am not sure I follow your description, but it looks like a bug...

[richardtomkins]

Here is a screen shot,

The first time I went to the link you had provided in your email there was a diagram, but not now.

Here is a screen shot,

Hmm, where? I do not see any... perhaps the discussion does not allow image attachments?

[slinkous]

Could the documentation link lead first to this manual? Or another "manual" link? It took me some searching to find it

[ghost]

So I got an email with slinkhous's comment and again had difficulty finding the link. Must be old age cause it 's just not obvious. Might I suggest the link be included in the README.md. And again I say, nice work indeed.

[ondras]

Added the link to README.md.

I think adding in a few words to help people get started with running this code locally would be helpful: https://github.com/ondras/wwwsqldesigner/pull/275
