Love this! The style is unique and awesome.

I see the beginnings of a really fun way to learn / practice / remember SQL.

A few notes:

- Would be cool if it was a single workspace (no tabs). Was constantly switching tabs back and forth.

- Saving previous SQL queries and results would be cool. I was copying results into the notes. Feel like this is important as things get more complex.

Excited to see where you take this!

I imagined myself with my flip notepad at the crime scene taking notes every time I'd copy queries/results to the notepad section. All I needed was a hat, and then say "just the facts, ma'am" a couple of times.

I like that way of thinking about it!

Good notes indeed. I have just implemented a side by side view so that you can view 2 tabs at once. I hope this helps. Also as other users suggested you can use the notes for saving queries but you can also comment them out in the editor.

I love the updates! Side-by-side is great, the graph view is great. Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing.
