Hi HN, Over the past year, I’ve been building a native MacOS Postgres client for my personal use. While there are plenty of existing clients, I built this because: - No open-source Postgres client matched the smooth UX of tools like Sequel Pro/SequelAce (for MySQL). - I missed the satisfaction of long-term product ownership and iteration—recent work has me jumping between projects. - I’ve been using Postgres more lately and wanted to get hands-on to deepen my knowledge. I also wanted a playground to experiment with client features that would help me on day-to-day. Some I have…

Hi HN. This is a project I've been building for the last month. It's a macOS postgres client that uses your OpenAI key to generate and immediately execute queries against your database locally on your machine. I imagine the user being someone familiar with SQL and able to identify errors in the generated code, but regularly needs to write queries to answer relatively simple questions. This is my first software project I'm intending on selling myself and would love feedback on the product and landing page. I'd also love ideas on how to market it to users, as I'm very new to this. In the near…

We just launched Outerbase Studio, the open-source version of our core database offering. It works in your browser or as a desktop app and supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. What it does: • Connects to MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite databases. • Spin up local databases directly through the UI, even if you don’t have one running. • Manage and query your data in a lightweight, intuitive interface. • Completely open source. Why we built it: We wanted to share the core Outerbase experience with the developer community as a free, open-source tool. It’s simple, fast, and removes the barriers…

Hey HN! Lev here, author of PgDog (https://github.com/pgdogdev/pgdog). I’m scaling our favorite database, PostgreSQL. PgDog is a new open source proxy, written in Rust, with first-class support for sharding — without changes to your app or needing database extensions. Here’s a walkthrough of how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6sebczWZ-c Running Postgres at scale is hard. Eventually, one primary isn’t enough at which point you need to split it up. Since there is currently no good tooling out there to do this, teams end up breaking their apps…

Hey, Sam and the team from ElectricSQL here. PGlite is a WASM Postgres build packaged into a TypeScript/JavaScript client library, that enables you to run Postgres in the browser, Node.js and Bun, with no need to install any other dependencies. It's 3mb Gzipped, now has support for many Postgres extensions, including pgvector, and it has a reactive "live query" API. It's also fast, with CRUD style queries executing in under 0.3 ms, and larger, multi-row select queries occurring within a fraction of a single frame. PGlite started as an experimental project we shared on X, and the…

SnapQL is an open-source desktop app (built with Electron) that lets you query your Postgres database using natural language. It’s schema-aware, so you don’t need to copy-paste your schema or write complex SQL by hand. Everything runs locally — your OpenAI API key, your data, and your queries — so it's secure and private. Just connect your DB, describe what you want, and SnapQL writes and runs the SQL for you.

Github: https://github.com/betocmn/widen I was paying for DataGrip for several years as my desktop database GUI but if I wanted text-to-SQL with LLMs I'd have to pay even more on top. So I decided to build my own and I've been using it for a few weeks now. At any time I'm usually working with 3 to 6 databases, and having them set up in something like Conductor (for parallel agentic coding), but for Postgres databases, lets me quickly start a session, ask questions to my database in plain English, get a data export, move on and close the session. It's been working well and…
