The UI looks nice. Is there any plan for Linux version?

PopSQL (https://popsql.io) supports macOS/Windows/Linux and works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, SQL Server, Redshift, SQLite, Presto, and Cassandra. [disclaimer: co-founder]

I would like to stay in the terminal even when working on a DB. But I never found a decent terminal based DB client with a GUI (TUI?). So I am writing my own at the moment. A terminal based database editor. It's a bit like vim for databases. If you too are interested in such a thing, let me know.

DBCLI[0] offers some decent solutions (although definitely not "vim for databases"), have you played around with them? I have used and liked pgcli and mycli, but haven't used them extensively by any means.

I'd be interested to hear more about what you are working on.

Any major differences related to SQLPro Studio? https://www.sqlprostudio.com (apart from access to some systems, and price, but since I consume it via Setapp...). And so: Plans to make it available on Setapp?

I run SQLPro Studio at work. Just downloaded TablePlus to play around. The big difference is GUI performance. With a 100k row sample set SQLPro Studio UI gets laggy. TablePlus runs it smooth.

TP also has more data display options.

Been 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 yo…

Postico is great but it does seem to hang/crash with big operations quite often. From my quick tests it does not seem like TablePlus has similar issues which is fantastic.

You have pointed out all the killer features. Btw the hotkeys won me.

I think this is a misunderstanding. I am not building a client where you type in commands. I am building a client where you can browse tables like spreadsheets.

Maybe 'PhpMyAdmin for the terminal' is a better description then 'Vim for databases'?

Sorry! My comment before edit excluded the note about DBCLI being a different type of product (: "Vim for databases" is very clear.
