Problem Statement
Chellenges:
Three core challenges emerged during development. First, designing a flexible taxonomy structure to interpret varied Excel formats proved difficult. Second, building an intuitive UI that caters to both tech-savvy and non-technical users required thoughtful iteration. Finally, implementing robust error handling was critical to ensure the system could manage inconsistencies in user data without failure or confusion.
Goals:
The final product aimed to automate database setup from Excel inputs, offer a simple and intuitive interface, ensure accurate data mapping, and handle errors gracefully. Usability was a top priority, ensuring users of any technical level could confidently build and manage databases.

Process
Research:
Initial research included analyzing user workflows across industries to understand how Excel is used in database planning. Interviews with database admins and non-technical users helped identify common pain points in traditional database setup. Competitive analysis of low-code tools revealed opportunities for improved automation and simplicity. This informed UI/UX design and helped shape features like drag-and-drop uploads, schema previews, and error notifications.
