Monghoul
Last year I decided to start a fun side project - a love child of VS Code and NoSQLBooster. I wanted a GUI that looks modern and snappy, minimal, not like 2003 MS Excel with dozens of buttons and dropdowns everywhere. I also wanted it to have a smart autocomplete that actually knows a schema, not just keys of the current collection, but their types and enum values. I wanted to type find({status: "}) and see "pending", "active", "cancelled" in the autocomplete suggestions. As a tech stack, I chose Tauri for the shell, Bun for the sidecar running the MongoDB driver and a tRPC server, and…

What it does
I live in MongoDB most days. Every GUI still looks like 2003 Excel, so I spent a year building the one I wanted. Monghoul: 33 MB desktop GUI. Tauri + Bun sidecar, cold start under 2s. Autocomplete reads your data: field paths, types, enum values, even fields created by earlier pipeline stages. Visual aggregation builder. Explain plan graded A to F. Charts. 70+ MCP tools for Claude and Cursor. Free tier. Pro $9/mo, $72/yr, $128 lifetime. 14-day trial, no card, no signup.
A MongoDB IDE built with Tauri. 38 MB installer. Schema-aware autocomplete that follows fields through $lookup and $group, a visual aggregation builder, live cluster metrics, charts, and 70+ MCP tools. Free tier included.
Autocomplete built from your own collections, that keeps following a field through $lookup , $group and $facet . A visual aggregation builder, live cluster metrics, and 70+ MCP tools for AI assistants. A Monaco editor over the MongoDB Node driver, with completions pulled from your actual collection schemas. The part other clients do not do is keep those completions correct deep inside a pipeline. Monghoul runs an MCP server, so an AI assistant can query your databases through the same connection profiles you already use. The interesting design is not the tools. It is what an assistant is allowed to reach and what it has to ask for first. Table, tree, JSON, result, explain and chart. The…from monghoul.com

Open-source, browser-local data exploration using DuckDB-WASM and PRQL2024 · github.com · ▲227Hey HN! We’ve built Pretzel, an open-source data exploration and visualization tool that runs fully in the browser and can handle large files (200 MB CSV on my 8gb MacBook air is snappy). It’s also reactive - so if, for example, you change a filter, all the data transform blocks after it re-evaluate automatically. You can try it here: https://pretzelai.github.io/ (static hosted webpage) or see a demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73wNEun_L7w You can play with the demo CSV that’s pre-loaded (GitHub data of text-editor adjacent projects) or upload…

- DUDuck-UI – Browser-Based SQL IDE for DuckDB2025 · demo.duckui.com · ▲213
I built Duck-UI, a web-based SQL editor that runs DuckDB entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. No backend required. The Problem: Every time I needed to query csv, parquet, or even to play with SQL, I had to either: (a) spin up a Jupyter notebook (b) use the CLI (c) upload to a hosted service. Friction at every step (TOO MUCH to load a csv or even to test some sql (study)... The Solution: DuckDB's WASM runtime lets us run SQL analysis client-side. Load CSV/JSON/Parquet files from disk or URL, write SQL, get results instantly. Data stays on your machine. What It Does: SQL editor…

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
