Neat product. I think that dynamic UIs for general purpose databases is an underexplored space, I'm happy to see another entrant. How does it compare to Ultorg [0] [1]? [0]: homepage: https://www.ultorg.com/ [1]: 10m video: https://www.hytradboi.com/2022/ultorg-a-user-interface-for-r...
Hope they can improve, might give it another go once I have time.

What's the difference?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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
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…
Jetbrains has a DB client, probably in Java however.
Their software probably is the best example of Swing, but it is still Swing, so performance makes a lot of operations feel slow and it doesn't prioritize data-first so the most intuitive way to do some things is in a blocking manner, with no smooth transitions from/to loader indicators.
I wonder if this is really true. As I understand, Discord had to start using rust to overcome the slowness of electron, VSCode had to add some really complex code to render the text fast enough. At what point is it easier to just use native code over trying to optimize the electron beast? FWIW lite-xl[0] has a better approach. A core app built with C and SDL and then high level parts made in Lua.
HN tends to bikeshed about the questions you asked above so I'm very glad that you preemptively answered them so that we can discuss the actual product at hand. More Show HNs should do this so that we all have better discourse here.
