Show HN: Duck-UI – Browser-Based SQL IDE for DuckDB

Re:Show HN: Duck-UI – Browser-Based SQL IDE for DuckDB by dkdcio on Sunday October 19, 2025 @12:08PM (#45635276)

the background is this UI is the MotherDuck UI for their cloud SaaS app. MotherDuck is a VC-backed DuckDB SaaS company, not to be confused with DuckDB Labs or the DuckDB foundation

MotherDuck decided to take their web app UI and make it a locally usable extension via DuckDB. however as noted in that thread, the architecture is a bit odd as the actual page loads once the extension is running from MotherDuck’s servers (hence the online requirement)

I don’t think it’s intentionally malicious or bad design or anything, just how this extension came about (and sounds like they’re fixing it)

disclaimer: I do know and actively work with the MotherDuck folks, I’ve also worked w/ DuckDB Labs in the past

Separate entities, but cooperative/comprised of many overlapping people, right?
