It's fascinating to me that people are still making money on RDBMS UIs in 2026. Maybe there's hope for my markdown notes app after all?

Developers are pretty willing to pay for tools that save them daily friction, even in crowded spaces. I find that the trick is finding the wedge that makes yours feel essential rather than nice-to-have.

At the end of the day, people pay to save time. Doesn't matter if it's been done to death.

I like the way you have the detailed roadmap of features for each version. It's nice for the user to feel connected to development like that.

I find that when people can see what's coming, they're more invested in the product and more likely to share feedback that actually shapes the direction. The devlogs on YouTube serve the same purpose. It's a two-way street.

If you want to go a step further the PostHog roadmap items are all GitHub issues that users can upvote which gives a great sense of who wants what in the community.

I've always wanted to build one of these! This looks like great work, and I like the team-oriented premise.

Thanks Steve! The team angle came from mine and my co-founder's own frustration. We kept copy-pasting query snippets and results of queries into Slack/Teams to our engineering team but also Sales/Marketing etc. Figured there had to be a better way. If you ever want to give it a spin, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I've honestly been looking for this -- a modern slick db management app, both for local dbs and remote (just for me though, no collaboration). Existing tools are solid but they feel outdated.

Downloaded and onboarding was nice. A couple of things:

- The initial schema for my local Postgres table was showing public but there were a bunch of tables showing that clearly were not tables in my public schema. Changing the schema to something else and back worked.

- Limiting the free version on number of tabs feels... annoying. I appreciate that a lot of stuff out there doesn't even have a free version but the software automatically opened with a few tabs (or I accidentally clicked on it?) and then as soon as I clicked on my first table I was paywalled. I feel like I'll accidentally open more tabs (even though I really just wanna work on one at a time) and get frustrated, which is more likely to drive me away than to pay at this point.

Note btw that ofc you have to make money and this is a product that I feel I'd be willing to pay for but I got frustrated within 2mins of using it so it wasn't like oh I've felt the value let me pay, it was more like I haven't even gotten to value yet.

Great work anyway and I'll keep trying and provide feedback as it comes! Thanks for building this
