I saw that it was AGPL licensed, which was odd to me for something that's supposed to be a client. I don't like the AGPL license because of how overbearing it is, I avoid downloading AGPL'd software, unless its a pure compiled binary. I am probably a little too strict about software licenses, but I rather always have the freedom to keep any forks to myself, don't force me to share code for my one-off project.

AGPL still only requires you to share the code if you’re sharing the fork in some form (binary or networked).

"or networked"

congrats on open sourcing i didn't try it locally yet but it looks like the cloud version can create SQLite databases inside the browser? Assuming the open source version does too, can you also "connect" to those databases somehow?

Thank Paul — Supabase has always been such a huge inspiration for us! Yes you can spin up sqlite directly in the browser, and on the local studio version you can actually spin up both MySQL and Postgres instances. You have to have docker running as well, and we will automatically spin up the containers for you, making it a completely hands-off experience! You can connect through them instantly through the GUI without…

Would be nice to add support for PGlite [0] to have the same “spin up in the browser” experience with Postgres.

Let me know if we can help with it!

For years I've wondered why a general purpose, high quality, good UX, browser based DB browser has not existed. I've implemented 3 such (not general-purpose) browsers in my career. But I'd be really happy to stop doing that and use this instead.

I would love to see a Firestore driver implemented (maybe I'll take a crack at it some day), as I'm stuck in GCP land for the time being.

you can also find some code for "pglite in the browser" here: https://github.com/supabase-community/database-build
