What makes SurrealDB very appealing to me is the combination of features (https://surrealdb.com/features) that this DB provides. I like that the idea has been in development for the past 8 years so there has been time to mature and experiment with different approaches to approach good balance. Now whether these features pan out as advertised, we will just have to wait as more people try it out and experiment with it. |

"Combination of features" is not what I asked about. SQL itself has a combination of features and is much more mature than "8 years". What value does surreal bring to my app/product? I know this question tends to come across as antagonistic, but it is still a valid question. |

I think you just have to figure it out yourself at this stage. |

Hi SurrealDB, I'm also confused with 'app.surrealdb.com' redirect from localhost:8000 both in docker and on-host installation. Should there be any UI? If it is not implemented yet as it seems to be planned on 1.1x release, then what tool you can recommend atm for manual queries except curl rest? |

If you're using VS Code, there's extension called Thunder Client, a lightweight Rest API client, nice alternative to postman. I'm using it 👍

It is still very odd that an on-premise installation is redirecting to surrealdb.com. Why would a regular GET request on my server need to go there? |

Regarding this issue, I think it's not a bug but by design, showing surrealdb web site -- just like others do the same 😄 I see that @tobiemh has updated it, from https://app.surrealdb.com to https://surrealdb.com/app |

Hi SurrealDB,
I'm a bit confused on what the value gain is from using your project.
It seems like you are just a sort of minimal ORM abstracted in an API from what I can see. There's no sql or graph browser, just api endpoints that I would have to build my own api on top of to really get any value. At that point why am I not going straight to an ArangoDB or RocksDB server?
I've installed the docker server and I'm not seeing a benefit currently to using this. Any guidance for what this tool is actually supposed to be used for would help.
P.S. Right after installing the docker image, going to http://myserver:8000 in a browser redirects to https://app.surrealdb.com/ with an access denied error. Not sure if that's a bug.
