Ready for a New Database Management Tool?


I am currently working on a open-source project with the working title DataDaddy, which aims to provide a modern and lightweight web-based database GUI. DataDaddy will make it easy to prototype databases, write queries, and more. It offers features such as quick creation and editing of database schemas, SQL query execution, and user-friendly data visualization. I have placed a strong emphasis on a modern UI and lightweight execution. For instance, to start the GUI, you only need to use an npx command.

I am aware that there are already good and well-established solutions like DataGrip, pgAdmin or TablePlus, so I have a few questions regarding this topic:

What database GUI are you currently using, and what were the reasons behind your choice? Are there any specific features that you feel are lacking in your chosen database GUI? Do you find your current database GUI's heavy-weight or unattractive UI dissatisfying? If so, would you be open to trying an alternative like DataDaddy?
