Postgres Table Browser
A lightweight, self-hosted Postgres browser
What it does
Most Postgres GUIs are heavyweight admin suites (DataGrip, DBeaver) or basic viewers that stop at raw foreign-key ids. This does one thing well: filter by following foreign keys to their real values, not ids, plus a guardrailed search across every table at once — capped and timed out so it's safe on production data. Runs as a single Docker container against your own database; your schema and data never leave your infrastructure, only a license check does. $10/seat/month, no feature tiers.

Browse schemas, follow relationships, and search across every table — without opening a heavyweight admin tool or writing SQL. Every schema and table in your database, laid out and searchable — no need to already know where something lives. Filter across related tables by following foreign keys to their real, readable values — not raw ids you'd have to look up first. JSON renders as a collapsible tree, image URLs as thumbnails, timestamps in local time — the data reads the way it should. One search box across every table, with a hard query timeout and per-table row caps — safe to point at a real production database. This runs as a Docker container on your own machine or server, connected…from sql-browser-license-service.vercel.app

Hey HN! Lev and Justin here, authors of PgDog (https://pgdog.dev/), a connection pooler, load balancer and database sharder for PostgreSQL. If you build apps with a lot of traffic, you know the first thing to break is the database. We are solving this with a network proxy that works without requiring application code changes or database migrations. Our post from last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44099187 The most important update: we are in production. Sharding is used a lot, with direct-to-shard queries (one shard per query) working pretty much…

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…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
