Thanks great links. I've been following some of those projects for a while.
I haven't dived into the differential dataflow stuff yet. I think a lot of these projects may be handicapped though by trying to work with existing SQL queries and user SQL knowledge which makes things more complex than they need to be.

I could not agree more!
I'm sorry to report I actually peeked through your HN submissions and I think you and I are seeing the exact same problem and trying to come up with a solution... from markup languages to visual programming to database internals to issues with electron, these are all things I've been spending time on! It's uncanny how much our interests overlap
Personally I'm debating dedicating my time to this exclusively as I think it's (a) incredibly exciting and (b) a massive opportunity. It will probably be 6-9 months before I pull the trigger and start a company (depending on how things develop between now and then), but while I have your attention, if you would be interested in reconnecting at that point, I'd love to get your contact info--my HN email alias is on my profile
