Yeah, this is really concerning. The handwaving around "keeping the ui up to date" by hosting it on ui.duckdb.org instead of embedding it doesn't taste great to me.

At least it's hosted on duckdb.org and not mother duck, but I really would expect to see that source somewhere. Disappointing unless I've missed it.

Yes. So confirmation from Jeff Raymakers, a software engineer at MotherDuck, the UI is not open source.

I was so excited. I knew it was too good to be true.

Something like this will basically destroy legacy platforms like tableau, sas etc
