## Description

Franchise is a database query tool and notebook SQL client that allows users to run queries and analyze datasets. It functions as a local data processor with a browser-based engine for executing SQL commands against CSV, JSON, and XLSX files without uploading data to a remote server.

The project uses a cell-based interface to organize queries and results in an interactive, document-like layout. It supports a workflow where users can fork queries into side-by-side layouts to compare different SQL variations and their results without overwriting existing code.

The system provides a unified interface for connecting to remote databases via a secure local bridge and includes tools to transform tabular results into charts, maps, and card views. These interactive notebooks and their associated visualizations can be exported as portable HTML documents.

The application is bundled into standalone assets for hosting on standard HTTP servers.
