What it does
DB Planner turns DBML into interactive ER diagrams and Mermaid into class diagrams and flowcharts, on one board your whole team edits in real time. Import SQL from Postgres, MySQL, or MSSQL. Export C# models, SQL, DBML, Mermaid files, or export the board as an image. There is also an MCP server, so your AI assistant can set up projects, edit schemas, and lay out the board for you. Start on the free plan, no card needed. Pro is $5, which lets you create an org, and added seats are $5 after.
Design database schemas and system diagrams together in real time. DBML and Mermaid on one live board, with SQL import and C#, SQL, or DBML export.
DB Planner turns DBML into interactive entity relationship diagrams, and Mermaid into class diagrams and flowcharts, on one live blueprint your whole team edits in real time. Readable DBML as the source of truth, a live shared canvas, and designs that leave the board as working code. Typed fields, primary and foreign key badges, enums as their own cards, and curved relationship lines that highlight on hover. Split a schema across as many DBML files as you like. Tables and enums reference each other across files automatically, with no import lines to maintain. Everyone signed in sees the same board. Live presence, shared layout, and organizations with owner, admin, and member roles. Paste a…from dbplanner.io

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
