Many have tried; and many will fail. Trust ia a factor; why should we trust someone with our root credentials?

  Is phpMyAdmin deserving of trust? My memory is that it's basically a security nightmare.

    It might be, but if its running in my DC I can isolate it to authenticated VPN users and audit the hell out of it. Also helps that I can deploy it single tenant. I can't do that with third party SaaS.

  RCKT doesnt require root access, only a basic SELECT, INSERT and DELETE user. We highly recommend that people create MySQL credentials specifically for RCKT, and we always prioritize security in our platform architecture

Misleading title. While something to that effect appears on the page, the actual title is "RCKT: A beautiful user interface for MySQL"

am I missing something? Is my page not rendering correctly, maybe? Because, why else would I not see a screenshot of this "beautiful user interface"?

Not a single screenshot? Sequelpro is a beautiful UI for MySQL. It's a shame it's only getting occasional updates nowadays.

  Biggest drawback of SequelPro is lack of MySQL 8 support and by the look of the discussion, it's not coming out soon. https://github.com/sequelpro/sequelpro/issues/3037#issuecomment-398490129 https://github.com/sequelpro/sequelpro/issues/3037#issuecomm... You can download a buggy nightly that supports MySQL 8 but even that is something like 9 months old. Tried TablePlus but switched to DataGrip as it is feature rich despite having somewhat clumsy design, I no longer have to worry about lack of mainstream db support.

How does this get to front page :) ? It is an announcement from what i think is an unknown company (?), no demo product or even screenshots.

Did you Google the name first? This already conflicts with about 4 different open source projects, a container engine and a programming language
