Looks quite nice. Currently stuck on pgAdmin 1.22, as I won't touch the "modern" Electron version of it.
I've recently discovered DBeaver, and am quite happy with it. https://dbeaver.jkiss.org/

Re: Show HN: TablePlus – A macOS client for relational databases
#22They have somehow managed to write a 500-word article on their project, advertising that it's "built native", without mentioning which platforms it runs on. The answer appears to be "only macOS, maybe Windows later".
We planned to release a Windows version in Jan 2018. Unfortunately, we got trouble with Swift compiler on Windows (not officially supported, only Linux and Unix). We decided not to wait for Swift and rebuild all the whole thing in C/C#. That takes longer so we hope to release it soon
So why is there no Linux version?

#23Seems quite good, it does have issues with chunkwm though if you open two databases and then try and switch between them

#24Sorry but I'm gonna rain on your parade here.
DBVisualizer already runs on Windows/Mac/Linux, connects to more databases, and implements just about every feature you're currently working on, plus all the ones you'll excitedly announce in the next few years -- like exporting data, query parameters, source table editing, charts, result set search, command-line interface, etc.

Your screenshots show so much wasted whitespace... timestamps that line wrap = half as many rows fit on the screen. Tons of unused space in the 'instagram_id' column.
A while back I used DatabaseSpy, which was also much more feature-rich than your tool. https://www.altova.com/databasespy
No relation to either tool, just a customer/user.

I wish pgAdmin 4 was built on Electron. It is that horrible.

To my eyes, dbvisualizer and databasespy are never going to have native look and feel on OSX and I’m going to feel like their UI is inferior because of it. Maybe they’re more powerful & established right now especially but I used Sequel Pro when I was using MySQL for the same reason. This tool seems great for people like me who see good OSX experience as table stakes.

#27Been using it for a month now and I love the modern sleek interface. It's very similar to Postico (which is Postgres only unfortunately). One killer feature for me is that you can assign colors to connections. When you open a window this color is prominently displayed at the top, very useful for distinguishing production and dev. ⌘+P command prompt is also supported, like in Sublime Text.
Some nice touches is that you can assign custom icons to connections and that empty space is filled with cute drawings. One thing I miss is that if you don't specify a DB in the connection info, the main window doesn't list all the available DBs, you have to ⌘+K to get the selection panel.

#28There is a certain difficult to describe joy about tight native development. Ignore the haters, congrats on your release.
Re: Show HN: TablePlus – A macOS client for relational databases
#29What 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?

There is a config to change the number of lines, I changed it to 2 because I want more space (the default is 1 line and looks similar with DBBeaver or Navicat).
