This is cool! Bug: I run Postgres locally that works without a username and password. Trying to connect to the database results in the error that I didn't provide a username. Can you remove the validation?

Not that it's a big thing, but seems weird to put the responsibility about you not forgetting something, on the person leaving the feedback, rather than just filing the issue yourself.
It seems weird that someone who has spent a lot of their own time (e.g. money) to help a community is being shunned for not taking even more time out of their day for a simple request. This also disregards software ticket guidelines 101: - There isn't fully defined steps to reproduce - Limited details on what the user expected to see - No details about the users environment People pour their souls into FOSS projects…
Let's cool it down with trying to start up some heated argument around this, no one is interested in that.
Hey folks, This is a passion project from myself and a friend. Been looking for a slick and easy to use SQL client on Linux for a while (I wanted basically Sequel Pro, on Linux, for PSQL). Couldn't find what I wanted, so we made one ourselves. It's built on Electron using Vue.js - I know HN opinions on electron apps, but I've been surprised on how snappy the app is. It's fully open source (MIT), cross-platform (Linux…
Passion aside, how do you plan to monetize?
I think with FOSS it's more important to outline how I'm NOT going to monetize. For us that means never charging for core features, eg having 'CE' vs 'EE', and never doing anything sketch with personal data.
Looking great ! Any plan for Query Plan diagram / visualisation ?
That said, I'm always hesitant to connect to production databases with relatively unproven products like this. How do I know there's not a bug that's going to wipe out my database?
Is that a valid concern? I'm curious about other folks' take on this.
(Looks great though!)
Looks great. Sequel Pro you mentioned is by far the best on Mac, none of the clients on Windows or Linux I tried even come close. This is great, and badly needed IMHO—specially if one can use a single app for both MySQL and SQL Server (Beaver DB is a usability nightmare). The name will put off a lot of people. To be honest, if someone in a team said "we should replace all our SQL clients with Beekeeper!" the first re…
Thanks! There's a history to the name, but I agree there are negatives. The positive is that it is distinct and can hopefully provide its own identity. Businesses use all sorts of software with silly names!
The competitors are Squirrel and (D)Beaver, so it's all in the backyard.
What are some of the comparisons with MySqlWorkbench? It's the only one I have stuck around using so far, so looking to shop around for a different client to try.
Side note, if you're exclusively on MySQL I would suggest checking out https://www.sequelpro.com/ - it served me well for many years.
Competition:
- DataGrip (~$150/yr, Clunky, Powerful)
- TablePlus ($50, Pretty, Useful)
- DBeaver (Free version, Clunky, Powerful)
- SQuirrel (Free, Clunky, Usable)
- Heidi (Free, Clunky, Usable)
- Postico ($40, Pretty, Mac + Postgres only)
- http://sequeljoe.ohwg.net (Free, beta)
- Azure (Free, Pretty, SQL server only)
- Sequel Pro (Free, Pretty, Mac + Mysql only. IMO has issues with MySQL v8)

Well, "shunned" might be a bit too strong, but I don't speak native English. I certainly didn't mean to put down the author in any way, which is why I prefixed it with "Not that it's a big thing", it's just a helpful note regarding how to respond to feedback. Let's cool it down with trying to start up some heated argument around this, no one is interested in that.
In native english the tone of the following sentence is considered "not very nice":
> but seems weird to put the responsibility about you not forgetting something
Further...
> it's just a helpful note regarding how to respond to feedback.
And what you responded with is NOT how to respond to feedback to an open source maintainer.

Nor am I. I'm sorry you feel like you're getting picked on here. This general topic is a huge issue for the future of FOSS contributors. What you responded with is clearly not egregious (e.g. i've seen people say things like "hey I submitted a ticket on GitHub 3 months ago and no response, WTF!?!?"...that is VERY BAD), but every little bit hurts. Don't take offense to it, especially if english is not your native tongue.
Very cool! I’ve been looking for a decent cross-platform SQL client for a while, so I can’t wait to try this out tomorrow. In case anyone is curious, here’s what I’ve tried so far: - DataGrip: bulky, slow, bugs never get fixed, non-FOSS - Azure Data Studio: great interface, but no MySQL or SQLite support - phpMyAdmin: clumsy, lacking in features, requires a web server—I’m really not the target demographic for this on…
DBeaver is great as a mature cross platform sql editor, and packs a lot of db design and management tools: https://dbeaver.io
