How does it compare to Sequel Pro ( https://www.sequelpro.com/ ) that would make me want to pay?

I've used both for some time. TablePlus has a beautiful UI and looks better than Sequel Pro for sure, but I find Sequel Pro to be more capable and easier to use. Redis support of TablePlus isn't too great either (searching on keys doesn't work), so I need to use another tool for Redis management anyway.

Hi, I just added Redis advanced filter. Thanks for the feedback!

I own TP and I like it overall. I just can't stop using Sequel Pro, it's just so damn snappy and easy to use. I need to give TP another try but it was really hard to break my habit of using Sequel Pro.

SequelPro for Mac and HeidiSQL for Windows. Those two are really light weight and easy to use. But for me the best id DataGrip. It's not light, but cross platform and get works done.

I pay for IDEA so I could be using DataGrip (or close enough? I wish JetBrains was clearer on this). Do you it from within another IntelliJ IDE or standalone?

TablePlus' authors should read "How white space killed an enterprise app (and why data density matters)" https://uxdesign.cc/how-white-space-killed-an-enterprise-app...

Data density is particularly important for this type of application's success. My post wasn't meant to be pejorative; rather, they should read the article with the goal of improving the "data density" of their tables, and other areas.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

>It's lightning fast I think this depends on the database rather than the software itself.

I've just compared TablePlus to PGAdmin (the new web one), on a fast query which returns 1000 rows. The responsiveness of TP is really noticable

yep, compared to SQL management studio as well the difference is night and day.
