Hi there! Thanks for the comments, and thank you for using Retool!

We have a product in beta that (I think) does what you're looking for: the Query Library (https://docs.retool.com/docs/query-library). This lets you run queries, save them, and share them across your company. LMK if that's what you're looking for?

(In the future, we will be adding more permissions, etc. to it. We are actively developing this right now and would love to get some feedback from you on it if you'd be open to it? I will have our engineer email you!)

That's pretty close, and would definitely be super useful to us beyond just my personal use case. Saving would be absolutely awesome because right now I "save" queries by doing this [1] in the query editor and saving a giant comment block. Then when i want to run something i edit and uncomment the single query i need.

I just tried playing around with it, and it looks awesome, but I can't fully commit to it yet, because it doesn't have a way to select staging vs prod like my dash does.

I'd be happy to give feedback! My personal email is in my hn profile, but if you'd prefer i can email you from my work account.
