    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…

    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.

    PgQueuer is a Python job queue that uses PostgreSQL for everything — queue storage, locking, notifications. No Redis, no RabbitMQ, no separate broker to operate. If your app already has Postgres, you already have the broker. After ~2 years and 26 minor releases, 1.0 ships today as the first stable release. Strict semver from here on. Thanks to everyone who contributed and left feedback!

    Hey HN, I built pg-mcp, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for PostgreSQL that provides structured schema inspection and query execution for LLMs and agents. It's multi-tenant and runs over HTTP/SSE (not stdio) Features - Supports multiple database connections from multiple agents - Schema Introspection: Returns table structures, types, indexes and constraints; enriched with descriptions from pg_catalog. (for well documented databases) - Read-Only Queries: Controlled execution of queries via MCP. - EXPLAIN Tool: Helps smart agents optimize queries before execution. - Extension…

    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…

    Postgres.app is the easiest way to run PostgreSQL on your Mac. We often get requests to add specific extensions, but we can't include everything. So now we added a way to download additional extensions! For now we have just a handful extensions for download. Is there anything else we are missing?
