I spent the last few hours hacking together PetrolMate using this dataset: https://petrolmate.co.uk A couple of interesting observations while building it: Yesterday the dataset had ~600 stations. Today it’s reporting 6,666 stat

Thanks, glad you like it. DuckDB is on our radar. In practice each database still needs some engine-specific work to feel good, so a fully generic plugin system is harder than it sounds. We are thinking about how to do this in a scalable wa

So DB Pro is a local desktop database client for managing your databases and data. Prisma ORM it won't replace, but Prisma's browser-based data browser, yes it will absolutely replace that. It's not a replacement for Supabase

It has some behaviour differences (connection handling, pooling, serverless constraints) that I want to support properly rather than “mostly works”. Right now I'm focused on making the core experience rock solid across the most common

Thanks! Yep, it’s built with Electron. Performance has been a big focus from day one, and it’s been really performant in all of my testing so far. The goal was a proper desktop-first experience with local performance and direct database acc

Literally exactly as I meant it. I watch a lot of cooking shows, too, so this analogy holds up.

Great catch, I'll add that now!

Thanks Simon! Looking into that now. Big fan. Hope you enjoyed the post. Edit: This should now be fixed for you.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’ve heard this feedback loud and clear from a lot of people, and we completely understand where you’re coming from. We’re about to introduce a one time purchase option that includes a ful

Without a doubt, 100%. In fact, you can use it offline if you want. We only make network requests when authorising user accounts. But even then you don't need to create an account. You can just use the free version offline.

We just wouldn't do that in a million years. Our goal is to build the best DB client around, and one aspect of that is building trust. We haven't even added user analytics tracking into the product.

Agreed! The more competition, the merrier. Good luck to you guys!

Great question! Postgres is supported right away because it behaves like a standard, direct database connection. But with services like Neon and Supabase, there are extra nuances we want to handle properly. We want Neon, Supabase, and simil

For me, the only lacking feature of vanilla HN is dark mode. I wish they'd add that. Other than that, it's perfect.

The N+1 problem basically means instead of making one efficient query, you end up making N separate queries inside a loop. For example, fetching a list of tables, then for each table fetching its columns individually — that’s N+1 queries. I

Wow, that's a really nice thing to say. I personally don't think so but that means a huge amount to hear. Thank you. One thing I did before jumping into making the video was to look, like really look at other YouTuber's video
