100/10 for mobile usability. Panning, Zooming, selecting and moving was so seamless I thought I was tripping out.

That's really good yes, even double tapping editing does not reset the zoom level. Definitely one of the best mobile friendly site I have seen.

This. Author(s) did the homework.

Maybe you can support schemas in more dialects by using a similar approach to a little tool I made: sqlscope.netlify.app

Basically integrate sqlglot to translate the schema between dialects and then use a base dialect for generating the schema.

The two tools seem complementary and you seem to be a better designer, so it would be nice to see it all together

Yeah, my first thought was that the diagramming bit needs to be ripped out into its own library, because I can see a use for the diagramming bits for more than ER diagrams.

It's a small too nothing great I just figured others might find it useful too. I kept finding myself needing to visualize database schemas, but most tools had the same problems: paywalls, mandatory signups, or sending your SQL to someone else's server. No backend, no accounts, no data leaving your machine. A few implementation details that were fun: * Built on instead of DOM/SVG. Tables are rasterized into cached bit…

Truely good work! It’s responsive, clean and “onboarding” experience without signup walls is great. Good job.

The whole code base is a breath of fresh air to be honest: https://github.com/royalbhati/sqltoerdiagram/blob/main/src/m...

Author is top notch in my book. I'm a sucker for someone taking a complex problem and distilling out a simple solution. I don't know of higher praise to give a developer.
