I’m building Tabularis, a native database client (Rust + Tauri). MySQL support is in a good place, but PostgreSQL has been much harder to get right — not for performance, but for <i>introspection</i>.<p>Postgres “works”, but once you go beyond basic tables and columns, things get tricky fast.<p>So...

Every few weeks I get 2-3 CSV files and need to run a quick JOIN or aggregation. The options are always the same: fire up pandas, import into SQLite by hand, or use some janky web tool.<p>So I built a plugin for Tabularis (my native DB GUI) that treats a folder of CSV files as a database. Drop your ...

Hi HN, We’ve just added theme support to Tabularis, our lightweight, developer-focused database management tool.<p>It already lets you: • Browse tables and data • Run SQL queries • Create and edit table DDL • Use experimental AI features (query explain &#x2F; query generation) • Expose configur...

Hi HN,<p>I built debba.sql, a lightweight, cross-platform database manager because I wanted a native, fast tool for quick data edits without the heaviness of Electron-based giants or Java IDEs.<p>The interesting part? This project started as an experiment in vibe coding. I utilized an AI agent to ha...

Project URL: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;debba&#x2F;rewindtty<p>I&#x27;ve been working on rewindtty, a lightweight terminal session recorder and replayer written in C.

I built Tabularis, a database GUI for MySQL&#x2F;PostgreSQL&#x2F;SQLite&#x2F;MariaDB.<p><pre><code> The interesting bit is the plugin architecture: instead of shipping a monolith with built-in drivers, each database driver is a separate executable. The core process spawns it and communicates vi...

What&#x27;s new n v9:<p><pre><code> GitHub Notifications panel — a full accordion UI to browse and manage your notifications directly from the tray GitHub Actions workflow runs — see the status of your CI&#x2F;CD pipelines at a glance Refresh button — manually refresh notifications with...

Database tooling is in a strange place.<p>On one side, there are powerful, commercial tools that try to be everything at once. They support every engine, every workflow, every edge case. The result is often a heavy application with long startup times, dense UIs, and a constant feeling that you’re na...

I created a Zed extension for Apache FreeMarker templates with tree-sitter-based syntax highlighting. FreeMarker is a Java template engine that&#x27;s still widely used in enterprise apps, but modern editor support has been lacking.<p><pre><code> The extension handles both angle bracket and square ...

Hi HN, I’ve been working on a desktop client for Storytel, as there is currently no official app for PC&#x2F;Mac. I wanted something that felt more &quot;native&quot; than a browser tab and included features like offline listening and system tray integration. The stack: • Frontend: React 18, Tailwin...

I often listen to audiobooks on Storytel but missed having a proper desktop client. So I built Storytel Player, a lightweight open-source app that lets you stream your Storytel audiobooks directly on your computer.<p>Repo &amp; downloads here:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;debba&#x2F;storytel-...

I&#x27;ve been working on AuthPress, a comprehensive two-factor authentication plugin for WordPress that started as a simple Telegram-based 2FA solution and has evolved into a flexible multi-provider authentication system.<p><pre><code> What makes AuthPress different: • Multiple Auth Providers: ...
