chdb and clickhouse-local is nearly as ergonomic as duckdb with all of the features of ch.
duckdb has unfortunately been leaning away from pure oss - the ui they released is entirely hosted on motherduck’s servers (which, while an awesome project, makes me feel like the project will be cannibalized by a proprietary extensions.)
> the ui they released is entirely hosted on motherduck’s servers
who is they in this sentence ? afaik UI was released by motherduck a private company.
ClickHouse too. Their sharedmergetree is not open source at all. It makes ClickHouse OSS obsolete design-wise. Shame.
