Looks interesting, and thank you for sharing this! One common issue with scraping web pages is dealing with data that is dynamically loaded. Is there a solution for this? For example, when using Scrapy, you can have Splash running in Docker via scrapy-splash (https://github.com/scrapy-plugins/scrapy-splash).

I didn't have enough time to dive into all the information or test out the editor. However, one bit of feedback that I have is just wondering what sets ERD Lab apart from other existing solutions? What motivated you to make your own DB design tool? If a prospective customer was either weighing the pros/cons between several DB design tools or already using another tool, what would compel them to decide on using ERD Lab?
Maybe consider including a table highlighting the differences in features/pricing from other similar tools on the homepage (after the list of features) or a separate page entirely highlighting this information? For example, Render.com has a page specifically highlighting how their product is a better PaaS solution compared to Heroku [0]. This is just a thought.
Personally, I'm not familiar enough with DB design editors to know what I should be looking for in such a tool. Moreover, about ~1 year ago, I was looking for a solution that solved this exact problem, so I am genuinely curious about this.
Finally, just wanted to mention that while I don't need this at the moment, I did bookmark it to consider using in the future.
Otherwise, great job, and I wish you the best!

Probably one of my favorite courses during my undergraduate studies at University of Michigan. Recently, I needed to brush up on statistics and was excited when I found this entire course available online.
All of the course materials are available under the 'Materials' tab, including the labs.
The lecture playlist on YouTube can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL432AB57AF9F43D4F
Back when I took this course, they were teaching us how to use SPSS, but it seems like they have since transitioned to teaching R. Definitely worth checking out if you need to review the fundamentals of statistics and probability.

I've read a lot of comparisons between Asana and Jira, but I was curious if anyone can explain the difference between Asana and Basecamp? I don't have experience with either service.
