Mason

The AI-powered SQL editor for teams

[Anton Reimertz @reimrtz]

We’re shutting down @mason_app.

Despite nearly two years of hard work, Mason failed to get traction with customers.

The decision to shut down is bittersweet. I feel deeply grateful to have gotten the chance to work with my brilliant co-founders, Anders and William, as well as the rest of our amazing team. We’ve written a summary of our journey and the lessons we’ve gathered here: https://t.co/bih24bs9zx.

Mason is in many ways the data tool I wished I had in my previous roles. Getting the chance to design it from scratch and will it into existence has been an incredibly rewarding experience. However, the unforgiving reality of startups is that desire alone does not translate into success.

To our investors, customers, and supportive families: your encouragement, feedback, and support kept us going. Thank you.

For the immediate future, I look forward to spending more time with my three-month-old baby and working on a few passion projects. As for the 'next big thing,' I’ll take some time to reflect before I decide what to do next.

@larsboehnke For now, yes. Mason is primarily built for teams using a shared connection.

But local connection is in the works. Happy give you a ping once it's out!

[Mason @mason_app]

We built the app using @TauriApps and it’s been a delightful experience. Stay tuned for a blog post with our learnings ✌️

Today, we've hit a major milestone on our journey building the fastest way to write SQL and share data with your team.

We're excited to introduce Mason on desktop, first launching on macOS.
