#2Hey folks,
This is a passion project from myself and a friend.
Been looking for a slick and easy to use SQL client on Linux for a while (I wanted basically Sequel Pro, on Linux, for PSQL). Couldn't find what I wanted, so we made one ourselves.
It's built on Electron using Vue.js - I know HN opinions on electron apps, but I've been surprised on how snappy the app is.
It's fully open source (MIT), cross-platform (Linux, Mac, and Windows), and we're committed to respecting privacy. Hope someone else finds it useful too.

#3Looks pretty neat. Have been using Navicat for quite some time but actually never really warmed up to the UI. I'll definitely give it a shot.

Quite cool! Nice work :)
Why an app vs. full hosted given it's Electron?

#5Nice work!
I primarily use TablePlus, but it's lack of support for saved queries is a big downside, this could be great for that use case.
A couple of UX things I've noticed, do with them what you will ;)
- When clicking on a table, the more common expectation for me is for it to open that table in a new tab, or switch to an open tab already using that table. The dropdown with columns is nice, but feels secondary.
- When opening a table, it would be nice to pre-seed with X amount of rows immediately. Commonly I just want to filter or search through the data in some way, and being able to immediately interact with it would be a nice touch.

Have you seen http://sequeljoe.ohwg.net/ ?
I'm also following https://github.com/ragnar-lodbrok/meow-sql closely, a C++/Qt port of the FOSS-but-Windows-only https://www.heidisql.com/ .
But neither of these are really "fully baked" options.
EDIT: This may have come across as the typical HN "middlebrow dismissal" so I just want to say, phenomenal work and a heartfelt thanks for being fully FOSS. Tools like this are a really important part of the SWE landscape that could use some more good entrants.

HeidiSQL works really well under Wine. I would still be using it

#8Really nice ! Love the commitments you make.
I use DataGrip and haven't found anything that was better than that at what it does.
Yours is really neat. Saved queries are great.

#9Nice design. If you could diagram schemas like dbeaver I'd try it out!

Hey, it would be great if you published it to AUR (Arch Linux)!
