   YES! That's why I built Beekeeper Studio. Still have fond feelings for that app, especially the pancakes logo.

   They came first, I wouldn't say I copied them, but we both value good UX and app design. I actually copied an old Mac app called SequelPro, which I missed greatly when moving to PSQL and a Linux desktop OS :-). When I started building

   I have a 40% off sale right now, which means its $51 for a year, if you cancel right away you still get lifetime access and 1 year of software updates. I think that's a pretty fair price, but always happy to get more pricing feedback.

   Please use DBeaver, MySQL Workbench, or Navicat side by side with Beekeeper Studio and I think you'll understand how my UX philosophy differs.

   Hey! I'm the creator of Beekeeper Studio. It's a similar value proposition as VSCode/Sublime Text vs IntelliJ. If you are in a database all day and need a big beefy IDE, Beekeeper Studio isn't for you. I built Beekeeper

   I made Beekeeper Studio because the lack of a good SQL editor on Linux drove me crazy. TablePlus is great on MacOS, but when I started it didn't even have a Linux version. I have full feature parity across all OSes, which I'm pret

    Thank you! Some sort of keyboard shortcut settings screen is my todo list. Honestly it's a total PITA because different libraries handle shortcuts in different places, so I've been putting it off. My focus after 4.0 is tidying up

    Hey! Well I do, sort of. It's a subscription, but if you buy it for one year, then cancel you get to use the app forever. The downside is you only get 1 year of software updates, but that's the case with most 1 year purchases.

    Does no-one remember VBScript and Active Server Pages (ASP). It was Visual basic as a server-side language, positioned to challenge PHP. VB made it to the web :-)

    Hi! I'm the bootstrapped, non VC backed creator of Beekeeper Studio. My open source version is good, probably too good, lol. Thanks for the mention!

    Hey there HN folks. Some of you have seen me around talking about Beekeeper Studio [1], my SQL GUI project. As part of that I've been working more on Windows, where it remains a pain to spin up development resources. I'm trying t

    As an open source project maintainer [1] with a set of proprietary add-ons, I totally understand the project maintainer desire to have a single repository with a single version, single build system, and a single place for issues. I've

    Most quality electron apps are NOT web apps. Beekeeper Studio included. It's a full desktop app in all terms, everything is local, no remote asset loading or anything like that. For folks turning web apps into desktop apps, sure it doe

    It is these types of platform questions that make Electron so powerful from the developer perspective. In building Beekeeper Studio I already have a lot of OS-specific problems to debug, having to also debug the webview just makes it 100x h

    This looks fantastic, and Electron needs some competition. That said, here's my set of hesitations as an Electron app developer (Beekeeper Studio - beekeeperstudio.io). 1. With Electron it's nice to be able to lock the browser imp
