This is not a framework, but I see tremendous value in going to people who already know the skill first. At least in my experience, there's a tendency for people to start learning on their own before they feel comfortable asking questions.
Often I try to skip this (rather tedious) process and go to someone who has knowledge in the area. Often I don't need an actual 'expert' but someone who's already intermediate. Asking the right questions can speed up the learning process tremendously! In addition, many people are willing to relatively cheaply (think: a meal; cup of coffee; etc.) let you pick their brain.
I think this becomes even more valuable when having a family means that one's free time becomes an extremely scarce resource. One usually already has some experience to be able to ask the right questions to clarify generic concepts in given context. IMHO given both sides of the dialogue are on the same "wave" nothing can beat Socratic method.
I see BI tools here (like Superset, Metabase etc) -- for use-cases when updates are not needed, read-only access to DB may be organized with https://www.seektable.com (not open source, but has 'personal usage' free tier).
I love Lowdefy (I've seen it a couple week back here on HN) but I have dismissed it given that there's no SQL connector right now. It's great to hear that you're working on that!
Thanks! Glad you love it :) SQL support and inline JS is next on the roadmap, and actually mostly implemented, we're busy documenting and doing more testing. So we are really excited to ship it soon!
We also implemented OpenID Connect support so you can "bring your own" auth service. Will be making a post again when these new features ship in the very near future.
Hope you give it a shot! And let us know if we can help!
I really like the idea and I did something similar with regular note-taking apps. The thing that would be a game-changer for me would be to link up my social/messaging/email accounts in order to (automatically) update information about when I last talked/chatted/interacted with someone.
Yes, it somewhat goes against the principle of absolute privacy, but I wouldn't mind the feature on my own server.
I'm using OneNote for sketches and handwritten notes (Tablet). For everything else, I use a private DokuWiki instance. I like having a web-based, but private, note-taking solution that supports media files and hyperlinks.
