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.

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

Re: Show HN: Outerbase Studio – Open-Source Database GUI
#63For 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.
dbeaver? it has dbeaver community edition, and supports tons of database.

Another +1 for Datagrip!

#67Would be nice to have an option of choosing a "compact" interface
When you contrast web UI with native GUI, the realspace you lose in the web accumulates fast
All that padding makes it hard to see the actual information, especially for power users
Compare this with Navicat, or even DBeaver, their native tabs, buttons and cells are almost half the height of Outerbase Studio GUI

This is great feedback thank you, we will work on adding in a compact mode!

DBeaver's UI/UX is.. functional.

I remember I used TablePlus, which was what you described. Very pleasant program. Not browser based, though.
I used to love table plus. My favorite part was that you could hook a query up to a chart. Then you could have the query fetch fresh data every second to give you a live dashboard.
At the last company I worked for I made a command to ssh into our servers and extract job data. I saved the data in a local SQLite database. Then I made a dashboard in table plus to show the it in a chart that would refresh every second.
I had a real-time dashboard in about an hour once I figured out all the job info I wanted to capture. It was really cool!
