What it does

RelateDB is an offline-first, browser-based database schema designer. Model tables and relationships visually, import SQL or DBML, auto-arrange diagrams, and export SQL/DBML or images. No accounts, no cloud, no limits—everything runs locally in your browser for fast, frictionless schema design.

Free offline-first ERD & schema designer. Connect to live PostgreSQL/MySQL, export SQL/DBML, sync across devices. A great ChartDB alternative.

RelateDB is a browser-based ERD studio for modeling tables, columns, and relationships. Everything is free and unlimited locally. Upgrade to Pro to sync across devices, collaborate with your team, and connect directly to live PostgreSQL & MySQL databases to pull schemas instantly. A fast canvas for modeling + thoughtful productivity features for real projects. Tables as nodes, relations as edges. Drag, select, edit, and keep the big picture visible across schemas. Work persists locally via IndexedDB-backed storage. Refresh, reopen, and continue without servers. Bring in DBML or SQL CREATE TABLE, then refine visually and keep schemas organized in workspaces. Export SQL for Postgres/MySQL,…from relatedb.com

    One year ago I open-sourced my very first 'real' project and shared it here. I was a college student in my senior year and desperately looking for a job. At the time of sharing it i couldn't even afford a domain and naively let someone buy the one i had my eyes on lol. It's been a hell of a year with this blowing up, me moving to another country, and switching 2 jobs. In a year we somehow managed to hit 26k stars, grow a 1000+ person discord community, and support 37 languages. I couldn't be more grateful for the community that helped this grow, but now i don't know what direction to take…

    ChartDB Agent – Cursor for DB schema design2025 · app.chartdb.io · ▲130

    Last year we launched ChartDB OSS (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44972238) - an open-source tool that generates ER diagrams from your database (via query/sql/dbml) without needing direct DB access. Now we’re launching the ChartDB Agent. It helps you design databases from scratch or make schema changes with natural language. You can: - Generate schemas by simply describing them in plain English - Brainstorm new tables, columns, and relationships with AI - Iterate visually in a diagram (ERD) - Deterministically export SQL script Try it out here -…

    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…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
