Products that do what Aidmin – Web-based database GUI does
Hi All, I’ve been working on Aidmin for quite some time now, and finally released a beta version of it. I’ve focused most of my efforts on security, making sure that Aidmin can’t negatively impact your database. I talk about that a little bit in the Security Overview (https://github.com/aidmin-io/docs/blob/main/security-overvie...). I would love to know if Aidmin would be helpful at your workplace, and if not, why? Are there any features that are missing which would make it much more useful? Thank you for checking out the project!

Hi HN! I’m Alex from Parabola (https://parabola.io). Parabola is a visual programming tool for creating functional data flows that everyone can use. It’s entirely drag-and-drop, handles data sizes much larger than a traditional spreadsheet, calculates everything live, and can run your flows on a schedule of your choosing. I used to work in strategy consulting, doing data analytics for SMBs and Fortune 500 companies. The amount of time wasted on menial tasks was astounding. Things like cleaning data, generating custom reports, creating human workflows to solve shortcomings in third…

So a while ago I was thinking it would be neat to build a site that had the most absolute utility. The idea I came up with was a site to store those little protips that are super useful, if you know them ahead of time. I hired a guy to work on it with me, and ClueDB was born: http://cluedb.com/ Please give it a whirl (it uses Twitter auth as login but doesn't tweet anything) and tell me what you think! (Various trivia: My first try at a project coded by someone else and "product managed" by me. Runs on Flask + MongoDB. Also, this is totally unrelated to my startup.)

Hi! Recently I've launched - mybfio.io - platform for software reviews with social network aspect. Prehistory Many great system are already in place that allow people to search and rate software products, including the site I am publishing this post on. However I have always felt that those systems are not specifically centered around product/software development lifecycle (releases, real users feedback over a product entire lifetime, so on) and often too broad or not designed specifically for that type of work, which is ok. Why? As an opensource author I would like to have constant…

I am just getting ready to release TeamPostgreSQL 1.05. You can check it out here: http://www.teampostgresql.com It is a web-based admin interface for PostgreSQL, with a lot of work put into making it a user-friendly and productive way to work with the database. Hopefully this makes it ideal for when different people need to access the database, including developers, testers, support staff, managers etc. This will be the first release after several months of beta testing and user feedback. Some feature highlights: * Pretty neat web interface (GWT powered AJAX GUI) * Comprehensive database…

I had the idea to create a dedicated web page containing basic, easy-to-understand digital hygiene advice. So if a friend or relative asks you for advice on securing their digital lives, you can simply give them a link and hopefully they'll share it with their friends too. Hosting is on GitHub pages; just a single, semantic, accessible HTML file. I just made this today, so contributions are welcome, especially right now. I am not a security researcher, so if anyone finds an issue with what I've written in this first draft, or thinks some other point deserves mentioning, please tell me either…

Hi there Hacker News, I've started a side project http://datasourcehub.com which aims to be a platform for data scientists. The project is still in the idea phase so the UI/UX and functionality are all subject to change. Feel free to play around, below is a guest login, and make sure files are content type of 'text/csv'. All data is subject to deletion, it's just a sandbox right now! By reaching out to the Hacker News community I hope to reach expert data scientists and get their feedback. Below are some questions I'd like to answer and some proposed directions that this…

Hello everyone. I'm a relatively new developer and I started my first project to go full production recently. It is a directory of payment processors and payment service providers. It's free to use and gives detailed info on their pricing, business model, supported business types, available countries, prohibited businesses and high risk business support. So far only 40 have been added with more to come. And I allow processors to contact me so that they're details can be added to the database. I'll eventually automate this and add verification the months to come. I hope you'll find it useful.…

Hi! I wanted to understand more about databases' internals so I wrote one from scratch. It has a T-SQL inspired syntax with support for functions and procedures. It can be used stand-alone as a SQL engine or with a server allowing for persistence and replication to other connected clients. Performance are nothing near sqlite of course but that's beside the point. It’s a small database engine that can run in a web app as a way to store session data, do small calculations on a web worker, store the document/data the user is editing or facilitate “multiplayer” feature by broadcasting the…

Hi, we're the creators of Five, the fastest way to go from database or REST API to web GUI. We automatically translate your data structure into a fully responsive web GUI. Our platform gives you the ability to model a MySQL database, write SQL queries, add business logic and integrations through JavaScript or TypeScript functions and launch a multi-user web app to the cloud in a single click (dev, test and prod environments included). Typical use cases for us are building a database admin panel, REST API GUI or any kind of bespoke business software. I'm posting a link to a code-along…

I just launched http://teamzones.io, a project I had been working on during weekends that attempts to solve a problem I've run into as a member of a remote team: keeping track of _when_ people are working in relation to yourself is a pain. Since this is hacker news and some of you might find this interesting, the stack is: * Go on AppEngine on the backend * Elm on the frontend And here's a breakdown of the source code: ~/s/g/s/teamzones (master)> cloc --exclude-dir=node_modules,vendor,static,elm-stuff,elm.js,index.html . 158 text files. 156 unique files. 48…

Over the last year or so I've been building a DB GUI that has all the features I've wanted in a db client. It's built using Tauri (so react for the ui and Rust for all the db interactions, LSP and multiplayer networking). I've been using it as my primary db client for a while but it just recently got to a point where it would make sense for other people to try it so I've [open sourced](https://github.com/getpeek/peek) it and slopped together a website for it. What sets Peek apart from most other solutions is that all queries and results are laid out on an infinite canvas…

Hey Hackernews! My names Olly (a Designer from the UK). I’ve been a long time lurker on Hackernews but now I finally have something to share with the community. Along with my friend Oliver (Developer, Sweden/Japan) we have been working on Remotewise.io. It’s a new resource and learning platform dedicated to remote work. We’ve both been working remotely for most of our careers. Over this time remote work has been gaining huge momentum as a viable and desirable way to work and we believe it’s the future. We’ve been working on this during our evenings and weekends in between our full-time…

Two and a half years ago, Edward, Dylan, and I started this journey to build a new database for an old problem that has long plagued the infrastructure software industry. Today, we are proud to announce that this database, TiDB, is production ready. Abraham Lincoln once said, ‘the best way to predict the future is to create it.’ The future we predicted 771 days ago we now have created, because of the hard work and dedication of not just every member of our team, but also every contributor, user, and partner in our open source community. Today, we celebrate and pay gratitude to the power of…

Hello HN! These last few months I've been working on my first open source project: an embedded database written in pure-go. That took me some months, as I had to learn how to deal with such large packages. Until then, all packages I had made were quite small an did not require much. I usually did not have to worry about things like allocation optimization and instance pools until This project. It started when I wanted to make a port of a tool to a TUI environment. I'm actually used to working with TUIs in golang, so that was my language of choice. The tool I wanted to port is written in…

I'm building a privacy focused analytics tool, using WebAssembly and DuckDB. You can upload your files (CSV, JSON and Parquet), and interact with them as where they a SQL Server. Your data never leaves your computer, however I do track page views and visitors using Plausible. The next steps are to add forecasting and segmentation, as well as some data visualisation capabilities. I would love to hear your opinion. All code for the repo is available here: https://github.com/dilovancelik/client_side_analytics

Hi HN, https://companies.bx.tc My colleague and I put together this tool for easily searching UK company data. We run a few server side batches daily to extract data from various government sources before linking it all together in (what is now) a fairly large database. We're also using this project as a way to test out a new JS UI library we built (similar to Vue, but a bit faster) to see how it stands up in a real project. We'd love to hear your feedback and any ideas you have for how we can improve the dashboard! Thanks :)

Hey everyone! It’s a single executable that you can run on your server using Docker, Systemd, or any other tool you prefer. It provides a simple user-friendly interface to manage all your SQLite databases. Inspired by PhpLiteAdmin, it features a snappy UI and offers power-user functionalities, ability to chat with your database using natural language via OpenAI api, and other features. It’s free to use, with an option for a one-time payment to unlock all features. You can find the demo at https://demo.litequeen.com/ It's early and there's much to add. Some features I think…

Hey HN! I’m Gui from deco (decocms.com). We’ve been using this tool internally as the foundation for a few customer AI platforms, and today we’re open-sourcing it as MCP Mesh. MCP is quickly becoming the standard for agentic systems, but… once you go past a couple servers it turns into the same problems for every team: - M×N config sprawl (every client wired to every server, each with its own JSON + ports + retries) - Token + tool bloat (dumping tool definitions into every prompt doesn’t scale) - Credentials + blast radius (tokens scattered across clients, hard to audit, hard to revoke) - No…

Hello HN! I've been working on Atomic Database[1] for almost exactly a month now, having restarted from an earlier Hackathon prototype version. Atomic Database is a deductive database like Datalog that has a useful GUI interface, a natural language query system, smart metadata storage, and gradual typing capabilities. The actual database backend of all this is based on Entity Attribute Value triples currently (I don't forsee changing it, as yet!). This is still very much a prototype, but I feel like I'm at the stage in its evolution where I need some outside input and, possibly, help. To…

I posted this a few weeks ago and the server died under the traffic. Fixed that by adding an in-mem caching layer with Redis/valkey and added CloudFront caching for static content. Also upgraded the server. Also fixed the Firefox bugs, trying again. It's a research tool for US stocks. Financials for ~10k companies pulled from SEC filings. You can chart any metric across companies, filter news by ticker, ask questions in plain English and get a chart back. There's also SQL console against the whole database, which is the part I like to use together with the AI chat (generates an SQL…
