I joined the beta list last week. Any rough estimate as to how long till I get my invite?
I’d be interested in a beta invite also!
Please join the waitlist, we'll send you an invite once your spot is available :)
Hi there, co-founder here. I'm really sorry about the wait and inconvenience. We send invitations in batches and there are a lot of people on the waitlist. In the meantime, you can contact me directly if you have any questions: nj@mixnode.com
White paper about stack pls?
White paper is in the roadmap. It won't be in the next several weeks though.
Is "white paper" what the kids these days use to refer to some basic technical chit chat?

Thanks, cryptocurrencies/ICOs.

Yea, fuck you guys for giving us a term for something useful. It really ruined our day.

I would've gotten away with vague references to how the software works if it weren't for you damn kids!

White paper was a thing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_paper) before people recently started using it to mean "any possibly technical information saved in a two-column PDF".

Let's not suggest that "white paper" is more appropriate than "blog post" or "HN comment" as a medium for partaking in the HN tradition of sharing some details about one's stack. I'd be hard-pressed to believe that OP was literally asking for one, too.

I don’t see how asking for one of these is unreasonable. It’s certainly preferable to a blog post or HN comment!
I couldn't see from the site - does this have a corresponding ODBC/JDBC driver implementation?

I can imagine a LOT of people wanting to blend the resulting data with other datasets, or even across results from the service itself. For example, could do that using Dremio, or commercial tools like Tableau, etc.

This reminds me faintly of what triple stores, RDF and SparQL were supposed to accomplish a la the Linked Data initiative [1]. But you know... with SQL instead.. like maybe how they should have started?

Awesome use of SQL here :)

I bet you could also do something interesting doing NLP to SQL here as well.

Intrigued to see where this project goes. Great idea!
