Interactive SQL Blog Widget — Let Readers Run Queries

Writing a blog post about data analysis? Don’t just show the SQL — let readers run it. PondPilot Widget embeds a live SQL editor that turns passive readers into active explorers.

Why Interactive SQL Posts Get More Engagement

A static SQL code block says “trust me, this works.” An interactive widget says “try it yourself.” Readers who can run and modify queries:

  • Spend more time on your post
  • Understand concepts deeper through experimentation
  • Share posts more often (interactive content is memorable)

How It Works

PondPilot Widget is an embeddable SQL editor powered by DuckDB WASM. Add it to your blog post and readers get:

  1. A pre-filled SQL query you wrote
  2. A Run button
  3. Results displayed inline
  4. The ability to edit the query and re-run

All execution happens in the reader’s browser. No server on your end.

Perfect for Data Blog Posts

“How I analyzed X dataset” — Instead of screenshots of results, embed the actual queries. Readers can verify your analysis and explore the data themselves.

SQL tutorials — Each concept gets a runnable example. Readers learn by doing, not just reading.

DuckDB tips and tricks — Show off DuckDB’s unique SQL features with interactive examples.

Data journalism — Present your findings with verifiable, runnable queries against the source data.

Works with Any Blog Platform

Static HTML, Jekyll, Hugo, Ghost, Docusaurus, WordPress — if it renders HTML, PondPilot Widget works. It’s a client-side JavaScript component with no server dependencies.

Pre-Load Datasets

Seed each widget with the dataset for that section of your post. Readers see meaningful data immediately, not an empty editor.

Free and Open Source

No API keys, no usage limits, no premium tier. PondPilot Widget is open source. Use it on as many posts as you want.
