#23This looks a lot like ChartDB[0]. Is that correct? If so, how would you compare the two tools, or better yet, distinguish yours from theirs? [0] https://github.com/chartdb/chartdb
hehe mine was up and running way before theirs. but we have diverged quite a bit. might be biased but i think mine is easier to jump right in. mine is more like the draw.io of database editors while theirs is the miro, yk?

#24Awesome work! We've been searching for something to switch away from MySQL Workbench for years, but the one feature we need is the automatic generation of SQL migration based on a current and a new schema.
Coming... https://imgur.com/a/U8cbJ5Y . Working on versioning, based on which migrations will be generated.
that's really impressive.

#25I experimented with this for five minutes, and so far it looks great. The one thing missing, or that I didn't see in five minutes, is that when I uploaded the schema for one of our SQLite databases, the tables came out perfectly, but the views were ignored. There are a lot of views, and we would want them in the diagram. I will definitely be coming back to it. As I say, what I saw was great.
Thank you! Yeah we don't have views yet, but will
If you wanted to commercialise this, then you could do it on a feature basis.
Create a paid version where you add more features, like support for views.

#26"A retro"?
Does this mean "a retrospective"? It's kinda ambiguous - why not type the extra characters?

#27IMO the best way are open a patreon or another crowdfunding option.

#29Hey! This is awesome! Great job :-)
I make Beekeeper Studio, another open source db tool (although v different), we started charging for a pro version 2 years ago. Would be cool to connect! I can tell you what we did and what did and didn't work - Matthew (at) beekeeperstudio (dot) io

#30I'm curious if you are planning for auto-layout? It's not listed in your features list but it's one of the most important and challenging to do well.
