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.

But after feedback from early users and the community, we’ve shifted our focus to working on tooling for manual database changes. We've consistently heard teams describe challenges with the way manual data updates are handled. Seemingly every engineer we spoke with had examples of errant queries that ended up causing significant harm in production environments (data loss/service interruptions). We’ve seen a few different approaches to how…

Hi HN. As a backend developer using PostgreSQL and Ruby on Rails for more than 10 years, around 3 years ago, I caught a spark to learn as much as I could about how to operate high performance, scalable, and reliable PostgreSQL databases. As I reflected on my own career path, I realized there are other developers that may want to learn more about this. I saw an opportunity to help show backend developers how they could put advanced, powerful, PostgreSQL features to use, to help build and scale their Rails apps. I've been fortunate to give presentations in both the PostgreSQL and Rails…
