Show HN: A Base44-style builder for data workflows (DuckDB-powered) (gptbeyond.com)

I kept rebuilding the same CSV workflows (reconciling exports, creating aging schedules, stitching months together), so I built a small browser-only experiment.

This lets you build full, node-based data workflows powered by DuckDB — all running entirely in the browser.

You can: - Upload CSVs - Create and connect nodes - Reconcile datasets - Build aging schedules - Ask questions in plain English and see the DuckDB SQL generated live with full workflows - Inspect and modify the SQL at every step

Think “Base44-style UX,” but for data workflows instead of apps.

This is intentionally early: - CSV-only - No persistence - Usage is capped

But I’m curious whether this workflow-first approach is useful or a dead end.

Feedback very welcome — especially missing primitives, UX issues, or workflows you wish this supported.



Quick clarification based on a few DMs/questions:

This isn’t just “explore a CSV” — you can build full, interactive workflows (with AI) by connecting nodes (joins, transforms, reconciliations, agings, etc.), and inspect/modify the DuckDB SQL at every step.

Still very early and intentionally constrained (CSV-only, no persistence), but I’m especially interested in: - workflows people repeat monthly - primitives that feel missing - points where the node model breaks down

Appreciate the thoughtful feedback so far.
