This is fantastic! I need to use it for a bit, but this might just replace tsql (finally!).
Some feedback:
I wasn't able to figure out how to mark something as favorite (no star icon, right clicking a table doesn't show an option).

Took me a while to figure that one out. I was able to write a query in the app and save it as a favorite.

#133What do they mean by native? That they are using macOS dev frameworks supplied by Apple, instead of a framework like Electron? If that is the case, how are they planning to have a Windows version?
Yes, we build it natively. There are tons of native applications: sublimes, Dropbox, chromes etc... and many ways to cross-platform. I don't want to spend 2GB for every electrons app (slack, vscode, database app...) so I build TablePlus natively. Basically, I split the project into 2 pieces. Logic and Interface. The logic can cross-platform because it is pure C/C++. Dropbox does the same way with djinni: https://gith…
Sublime Text isn't quite native, as the text rendering is done with Skia IIRC.

#135I wish they have something like this for MongoDB. Didn't find anything good on OSX. Maybe Mongo 3G is still the best option and they just sold.
I don't see why they couldn't add mongo support to this. If it had mongo support I'd buy it instantly

#136I've used Querious for a while and really like it: https://www.araelium.com/querious Like TablePlus, it's a native MacOS app, has great performance, and a clean interface.
But like Sequel Pro, it only supports MySQL.

#137Earlier quoted context omitted.
If it works as advertised, this might be one of the most pleasant surprises in a while. Will try it now. Been looking for a good alternative to pgAdmin. Edit: Tried it out and it works really well from first impressions. Would definitely recommend trying it out as an alternative to pgAdmin.
Thanks! If you want to request any new features, drop us a message on Github https://github.com/TablePlus/TablePlus
Good to know. Our team is evaluating it now and if everyone is on board, we will be grabbing a few licenses from you!

#138How is this better than DBeaver
It doesn't even seem close to DBeaver at this point, but who knows how it will progress. DBeaver is Java-based but still runs very fast on my Mac. Definitely the best db client I've used in years.

#139This looks promising, i will look forward to the windows version, but the MacOSX as a first supported platform seems a bit odd, I used to think most DBA worked under Windows/Linux.
> I used to think most DBA worked under Windows/Linux.
I guess it depends on how you define a DBA. Surely macOS is huge among web developers, and since most non-trivial web applications interface with a database, web developers have to install and maintain DBMS systems and create and interact with databases. Does that make them DBAs too? Arguably so.
