Dolt Workbench – A modern, browser-based, open source MySQL workbench

Why are SQL workbenches stuck in 2002? I work for the company behind Dolt, the first fully versioned SQL database. As a database company, we have often felt the pain of the lack of modern, web-native or browser-based SQL workbench products. We built a cool database UI for our other web products (DoltHub and Hosted Dolt) and we wanted the world to have it. The Dolt Workbench not only works with Dolt, which will unlock version control features, but it also works with any MySQL-compatible database, including MySQL and MariaDB. As far as we can tell, the Dolt Workbench is the only free, open…

    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. 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…

  • Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic/Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
