Wagon is the company blog at wagonhq.com, writing about data and programming. Since 2015, 17 different Hacker News readers have linked it 35 times, most often “Wagon will be shutting down on October 3rd”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (14) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN mostly mentions Wagon as a company and product, a modern SQL editor, in hiring threads and tool comparisons, not for its blog. One commenter cites its Haskell blog post as an example.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 14 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Wagon is a modern SQL editor for analysts and engineers to write queries, visualize results, and share data and charts.

HN discussionHi Hacker News! So this is where the extra activity is from :) honored to be posted. SqlPad was something I built to scratch my own itch and was sort of a self-challenge. I haven't done much with it lately, but a few users have contributed some additions back and have been helping with the project. Just a heads up if you explore the code - I'm not a Node.js developer by trade and this is sort of a hobby for me as a…

HN discussionIt used to be (or still is inside Box?) an analytics startup [1][2][3]. EDIT: Their Twitter account also gives a little bit of information: Wagon is a modern SQL editor.

HN discussionWagon was THE best local SQL IDE on the market back in 2016. It provided automatic metadata visualizations, histograms, run history, and easy graphing for every query that you wrote, with built-in sharing for teams. It was perfect for exploring your data for the first time. Out of nowhere, Box bought them in 2016 and I have no idea what that team ended up doing. https://www.wagonhq.com/ PopSQL has stepped in and fil…

HN discussionNot that I can remember coming across. Most of the desktop clients are pretty smart and prevent large data loads from causing hangups. Back in the day, Wagon ( https://www.wagonhq.com/ ) was my favorite, but the team was bought by Box. PopSQL ( https://popsql.com/ ) has at least partially filled that void over the last 2 years. Happy to answer any specific questions you might have as you're building. Email is in my…
