cyberduck, iina, adium, notational velocity, divvy, hex fiend, keka, xee, unicodechecker, textual, … That's just a subset of what I saw scanning my /Applications, and I don't specifically look out for replacing existing software with free (whether freedom or beer) applications.
> divvy, textual Neither of these are freeware?

Fork is a great Git GUI with a very "Mac-like" interface (also available for Windows): https://git-fork.com I use it for some git operations when I would be slower on the command line, and I can highly recommend it. The UI is very polished! Bonus: I can open it from the command line with a simple "fork" command.
Thanks! I will try that over SourceTree! Do you know how it compares? Especially with other clients like Kraken / Tower?
For me, Fork just works, I can scroll through the commits easily, file trees are available as a tab for each commit. The UI is very easy to use and discoverable, that's why I like it.
Projects like these should be celebrated through donations and this project makes it easy. When’s the last time you’ve seen freeware developer tool for macOS that’s not from a corporation with money to spare? I personally can’t think of anything beyond iTerm (utility), Homebrew (utility), ...aaand that's where my list ends.
I share the feeling. I'd just like to add IINA [1] to the list, it's an excellent video player and I use it daily. [1] https://iina.io/
SequelPro is amazing and I used it for many many years. Now I’m using TablePlus which is a great paid client ($50 I think) and I love it. I really hope in the new era, we can have paid open source tools with some bounties for important bug fixes and UX improvements. That seems to be a very sustainable way to develop great software.
Do you know how TablePlus clients compare on Windows and Mac? Been wondering since they're both built natively instead of using cross platform development like Electron.

What bug specifically? What is the symptom?
Not sure which the parent was referring to, but everytime I close it, it crashes.
Will try the test build.

sadly neither postico nor tableplus can connect using an ssh certificate. this is becoming a big drawback in organisations switching to ssh certs instead of keys.
TablePlus definitely can connect using SSH certificate. I'm using it like that right now.
please note that i am talking about SSH certificate, not SSL certificate. https://ef.gy/hardening-ssh

Until you try to actually use more than demo data and need to resort to tricks to sort out unresponsive rendering. I have no love for Electron. Still remember Active Desktop, MSHTML, XUL and Symbian Web Runtime. As someone that does both native and Web fullstack, the place for Web technologies is on the browser, with approaches like PWAs.
Sequel Pro's query dialog grinds to a screeching halt on my 2018 model MBP when there is more than 1500 lines of text in the box.
The difference being that native solutions have better tooling to handle such cases, one just needs to actually learn how to use them.
In a future where Worklets and WebComponents with virtual tables are a standard browser feature, similar approaches can be done in the browser as well.
