Come on, it's the last thing I want to show to a non dev, or even to a dev. phpMyAdmin's interface is so cluttered, and way harder in the eyes for anyone who just want to go through the data and not deal with every part of the database with knobs all over the place, it's like sitting in a cockpit.

For sure, I think it's good for another purpose (playing with phpMyAdmin taught me to write queries by hand!)

  I also got into the more nitty-gritty nuances of mysql through with phpmyadmin. Many things I find being done on client side "dashboard" applications can be handled by a mysql view, which can then be pulled up in phpmyadmin.

I was speaking more to devs, but I agree to an extent. I suppose I didn't realize how much a bad UI would alienate developers.

Thanks for replying, because that's a good description for part of the motivation to build the tool, and it's nice to hear that others are of the same mind. I've worked on many projects over the years and typically I've seen need for different tools at both ends ... the complex "cockpit" for the power-user, and then the easy front end for something simple. Building all of time-consuming little custom web utilities were the inspiration for this product. I hope others like me will find it useful.
