  Missed that - I am a little unclear how being wrapped in electron as an app is necessarily an advantage - I guess it could be valuable if it were pulled out electron, and you could host it as a service.

    Yeah you can definitely do that, I referenced how we do it in another comment. The electron app and running it locally allows you to use TCP protocol which isn't available directly in the browser. It's mostly just a nicely bundled way to run it if you aren't very technical but still want a easy to use database client. You can also run commands like this to connect to your database if you want: npx @outerbase/studio \ --port=5000 \ --user=admin --pass=123 \ mysql://root:123@localhost:3306/chinook

    You can connect to your SQLite databases from the browser too without the Electron app if you wanted: https://studio.outerbase.com/connect https://studio.outerbase.com/connect

  Still a valid counterargument. A good browser based DB GUI might just not exist because the existing desktop ones are so good already. I personally also vouch for DataGrip, a fantastic tool. No browser based tool is going to come close to the experience of an actual desktop app imo

      Sandbox constraints. Windowing. Browser compatibility issues. Plugins and Integration compatibility.

    Another +1 for Datagrip!
