Thanks for the kind words, and the feedback!

The idea here is that DataSpeeder enables the power user doing the db work to provide a simple web GUI for "non-admin" users who need to see some subset of the data in an easy way.

It's been my experience on projects over the years that there comes along a requirement to provide a simple view into a complex system.

All of those little custom web utilities were the inspiration for this product.

Rather than building a custom web app utility from scratch (because we're already too busy with day-to-day tasks and deadlines), DataSpeeder gives you a simple and easy end-user web GUI to the MySQL data that you can get up and running immediately.

Perhaps a scaled-down PhpMyAdmin deployment might get you there with some work and user-training, but DataSpeeder gets you something simple online very quickly ... Take a look at the "Create An Application" tutorial videos to see how fast it can be done: https://www.dataspeeder.com/support

Thanks again for the feedback!
