Peek – A Figma like DB GUI

Over the last year or so I've been building a DB GUI that has all the features I've wanted in a db client. It's built using Tauri (so react for the ui and Rust for all the db interactions, LSP and multiplayer networking). I've been using it as my primary db client for a while but it just recently got to a point where it would make sense for other people to try it so I've [open sourced](https://github.com/getpeek/peek) it and slopped together a website for it. What sets Peek apart from most other solutions is that all queries and results are laid out on an infinite canvas…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Over the last year or so I've been building a DB GUI that has all the features I've wanted in a db client. It's built using Tauri (so react for the ui and Rust for all the db interactions, LSP and multiplayer networking). I've been using it as my primary db client for a while but it just recently got to a point where it would make sense for other people to try it so I've [open sourced](https://github.com/getpeek/peek) it and slopped together a website for it. What sets Peek apart from most other solutions is that all queries and results are laid out on an infinite canvas (like Miro or Figma). You can click on a primary key and see all references to that specific row, or click on a foreign key and it'll fetch and display those rows in new result nodes, kind of building a direct acyclic graph as you go. It'll also give you chart nodes for numerical data in results and you can draw on the canvas like a whiteboard or drop text nodes. You could also run two or three queries and check the results side by side. There are a bunch more features such as fully P2P multiplayer (based on [iroh.computer](https://iroh.computer)) that works just like it does in figma/miro with live cursors etc. Guests never see the connection details, though, but rather they send commands to the host and the data is synced back to the guest when the host canvas updates. There is no centralized Peek service either, even for address resolution so you don't have to worry about leaking connection information, table data or anything else when using the multiplayer features. There is a built-in AI agent that works both with local inference with your self-hosted OpenAI compatible server (ollama, llama.cpp etc) so nothing leaves the machine, or via MCP so Claude Code can create nodes, move the camera, analyze results etc. All AI features are fully optional of course and the MCP is disabled by default. Have a Peek!

    I left Figma to build a diffusion-based UI design toolJul 2026 · diffui.ai · ▲80

    Hey hn, this has been something I've been working on for the last few months and is finally robust enough to really show off. I've been pretty tired with the design outputs of LLMs for a while, and I've always thought diffusion offered much more creative / on brand design outputs, even before they were able to render text. I had enough conviction for this to leave my role over at Figma to build Diffui. The goal is to allow for you to design your full web app as quickly as possible, in a figma-like interface, and then hand that off to an agent to build. The page shows some interactive…

    Aidmin – Web-based database GUI2021 · aidmin.io · ▲97

    Hi All, I’ve been working on Aidmin for quite some time now, and finally released a beta version of it. I’ve focused most of my efforts on security, making sure that Aidmin can’t negatively impact your database. I talk about that a little bit in the Security Overview (https://github.com/aidmin-io/docs/blob/main/security-overvie...). I would love to know if Aidmin would be helpful at your workplace, and if not, why? Are there any features that are missing which would make it much more useful? Thank you for checking out the project!

    Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
