In plain words

Dbdot is a command-line tool written in Golang that generates visual diagrams of PostgreSQL database schemas. It helps developers and database administrators understand table structures, relationships, and constraints at a glance by converting schema information into diagram format. The tool is useful for anyone working with Postgres databases who needs to document or visualize their data model.

    Hi 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.
