The End of a Journey

DB2Sheets was born out of a real-world challenge we faced at Tjommi.app. We needed a simple way to get data from our product into the hands of our marketing and data visualization teams without resorting to complex and costly setups. This led to a series of improvised solutions, ultimately culminating in the idea for DB2Sheets - a tool to sync database tables directly into Google Sheets.

Inspired by the success of similar tools like Seekwell, I decided to productize DB2Sheets. It was partly for the fun of building something new, and partly to see if others faced similar challenges and might find value in such a solution.

However, as it turns out, the use case for DB2Sheets is pretty niche. There wasn't much demand for this product, and honestly, there are better ways to accomplish what it does. It's been a great learning experience, but it's time to move on to new adventures.

While DB2Sheets won't be actively maintained or supported anymore, I believe in the power of open source. So, in the spirit of giving back to the community and potentially helping others learn from this project, I plan to open source the entire codebase for this web application eventually. Keep an eye out for that if you're interested!

Thanks to everyone who showed interest or gave DB2Sheets a try.
