       | This looks pretty awesome!

       | Something that might be cool is also identifying the schemas and
       | the ranges. You would probably be able to automatically generate
       | some of these blocks. You could use something like this:
       | 
       | https://github.com/capitalone/DataProfiler
       | 
       | With enough data, you could probably further automate this
       | process with AI. Good luck! Feel free to reach out for ideas or
       | anything.

       | Hey! this is Moritz. one of the creators of datablocks. the
       | project is in a very early stage and more like a showcase right
       | now. If you have any feedback, please let me know :) It's very
       | valuable for us. We open sourced the underlying library for
       | creating the flows. It's called react flow
       | https://reactflow.dev/. The backend is built with nhost and we
       | can really recommend it -> https://nhost.io/! Thanks for the nice
       | words here :)

       | Very cool! I use vector.dev on daily basis and this feels very
       | much like a GUI version of it.

         | On a side note, thank you for referring to vector.dev. After
         | skimming through their documentation that will be a useful tool
         | as well.

       | Looks slick. We are doing something similar but different with
       | https://www.easydatatransform.com. Although data scientist seem
       | mostly wedded to R and Python, I think no-code graph-based tools
       | have a lot to offer to everyone else.

       | I guess this isn't an ETL but the look and featureset overlap

       | know how this compares with the many graphical ETL tools out
       | there, say SSIS, Pentaho, Talend, Stitch, Apache Airflow,
       | Parabola.io

       | only add that you guys should consider adding "Output" blocks:
       | Postgres, BigQuery, Mongo, etc. outputs would be super useful --
       | extra points for spinning up a temporary DB in the cloud.
