Looks great. Sequel Pro you mentioned is by far the best on Mac, none of the clients on Windows or Linux I tried even come close.
This is great, and badly needed IMHO—specially if one can use a single app for both MySQL and SQL Server (Beaver DB is a usability nightmare).
The name will put off a lot of people. To be honest, if someone in a team said "we should replace all our SQL clients with Beekeeper!" the first reaction would be to laugh at the name—which is not good. "SQL Keeper", "SQL Vault", "Sequalize", or anything like that would make people take the project more seriously.
Congrats!
- rathboma 6y agoThanks! There's a history to the name, but I agree there are negatives. The positive is that it is distinct and can hopefully provide its own identity. Businesses use all sorts of software with silly names!
- sam_goody 6y agoThere is a delicious irony in using a BeeKeeper to connect to a Cockroach database.... The competitors are Squirrel and (D)Beaver, so it's all in the backyard.
- nkkollaw 6y agoSure, they do use them, but as a startup I'd personally think it's better to not making harder than it already is. What's the story behind the name..? :-)
