DataRamen, a Fast SQL Explorer with Automatic Joins and Data Navigation
I built DataRamen, a local-first SQL explorer that helps you get the data you need fast, without writing repetitive queries every time. You run it locally from the CLI (no cloud version yet), connect your databases, and you're ready to go. The goal is to let you explore and query data like you would in a spreadsheet: intuitive, fast, and without friction. Key features: - Automatic joins & related data navigation: Right-click any row to instantly see related records in other tables (based on foreign keys or references). - Keyboard-driven UI: Hit N to jump to a table, F to filter, and so on,…
In plain words
DataRamen is a local-first SQL explorer that runs from the CLI and lets users query databases without writing repetitive SQL. It features automatic joins that follow foreign keys to instantly display related records across tables, a keyboard-driven interface for fast navigation and filtering, and named tabs for saving and comparing multiple queries. Designed for data analysts and developers who need quick database exploration with a spreadsheet-like workflow, it connects to databases locally without requiring cloud infrastructure.

I built DataRamen, a local-first SQL explorer that helps you get the data you need fast, without writing repetitive queries every time. You run it locally from the CLI (no cloud version yet), connect your databases, and you're ready to go. The goal is to let you explore and query data like you would in a spreadsheet: intuitive, fast, and without friction. Key features: - Automatic joins & related data navigation: Right-click any row to instantly see related records in other tables (based on foreign keys or references). - Keyboard-driven UI: Hit N to jump to a table, F to filter, and so on, it’s optimized for speed so you can go from question to insight in seconds (this point is still in progress, I find it confortable, but the goal is to make it even better). - Named tabs with saved queries: Keep multiple tabs open with different queries, useful for comparing or cross-checking data. Tabs are saved, so you can get back to your queries at any time. - Instant edit & insert: One click to edit or add rows, no need to write full queries. - Multi-DB support: Connect several databases and search across all of them. - Search across all columns: Find what you need even if you don't know the exact column. If you've ever felt slowed down by writing the same SQL over and over just to explore your data, this might save you a ton of time. I’d love feedback or suggestions, especially from folks who wrangle data often. Find more information on https://dataramen.xyz PS. don't be harsh on the logo, I did my best :)

Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…
