why isn't it turned off by default?

Because then no one would turn it on? I get it though… I don’t really want my database access tracked either. Maybe it would be better to include this as part of the account creation process. At least then you can tell the user what you're collecting and why.

hard disagree

they should store crash reports locally and next time i open the app ask me whether i want to send them or not

what they decided to do instead is spying

I just downloaded it to try it out but it connects to like 4 domains on startup and after blocking internet access I cannot continue by clicking "Continue without account". I downloaded 240MiB, it shouldn't need to download any more stuff to run. arctype.com, intercom.io, sentry.io and s3.amazonaws.com. These all happen while the window isn't even loaded on first start. I get that I'm not entitled to anything, but je…

Bummer about Electron. My workstation can take it with flying colors, but I also work from a laptop at times and just having 3-4 instances of VS Code, a browser, and a communication app drags my poor 16GB RAM T490 through the mud, to the point I'm working on replacing VS Code despite how fast it helps me get started with new languages compared with Neovim. FWIW: I would pay 100$ yearly for a JetBrains like license to…

Calling home, AWS and Sentry (Error tracking) is very reasonable. Intercom is the only "eh" one and it's not even that bad.

> It will be soon! We’ve been focusing mostly on features that users have been asking for, as well as performance, stability, and security. We’re not completely happy yet with the documentation and development experience of contributing to Arctype, but this will be a core focus for us in the coming weeks. We just want to make sure it will be very easy for the community to contribute once we publish on GitHub. Sweet!…

they didn't say when!

True but you don't get internet points for saying something will be open source and not doing it.

Do you run your whole dev environment with the internet off?

You're completely missing the point - it's the principal of the matter in question here. The app _should_ work offline, even if that's not how your actual environment is configured.

There's a million fancy looking database clients, and yet I'm still using the crappy built-in MySQL Workbench that crashes if you look at it the wrong way. Why? Because I need to be able to do more than just run queries. I need to be able to manage users & permissions, see the current server configuration, kill connections from other clients if necessary, etc. The collaboration features are a nice touch, that certain…

MySQL Workbench is indeed a mess. If you're on a Mac, Sequel Ace (formerly Sequel Pro) is great and has all the features you mentioned.

Any recommendations for Postgres?

Jetbrains has a DB client, probably in Java however.
