Missed that - I am a little unclear how being wrapped in electron as an app is necessarily an advantage - I guess it could be valuable if it were pulled out electron, and you could host it as a service.

I put together this in related to our cloud offering, it's still somewhat relevant for Outerbase Studio even though some features are different: https://www.outerbase.com/blog/the-5-best-database-managemen... Our goal is to make data accessible through good user experiences and focus. Whether that is being able to spin up a local database directly from the app, or simply making the query experience as intuitive as po…
That page mentions support for noSQL databases, but it looks like this open source version only supports SQL. Just want to call that out for clarification. Is the long term intent eventually to have parity between the open source desktop app and the cloud version (at least in terms of database type support)?
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.

Because it does exist, but it's not free. Jetbrains Datagrip has been around for a decade and has connectors for most database archetypes (mongo, sql, redis, duckdb, etc). Biggest limitation right now is its lack of support for vector style databases like Lance, qdrant, etc.

I personally also vouch for DataGrip, a fantastic tool. No browser based tool is going to come close to the experience of an actual desktop app imo

Everyone I've seen either pivots to a Retool competitor or a BI tool.
Source: I've tried it twice.

Still a valid counterargument. A good browser based DB GUI might just not exist because the existing desktop ones are so good already. I personally also vouch for DataGrip, a fantastic tool. No browser based tool is going to come close to the experience of an actual desktop app imo
Why?

I remember I used TablePlus, which was what you described. Very pleasant program. Not browser based, though.
I would use it if it weren’t based on Electron. In recent months, I’ve replaced all Electron apps with native versions, and not only are they more performant, but my RAM is now saved for more important tasks.
