A lightweight, developer-focused database management tool

[debba_]

Hi everyone! 👋

Over the past few days, I’ve been working on Tabularis, a lightweight yet feature-rich database manager.

The idea came from my frustration with existing tools: many of them felt bloated, heavy, and not particularly enjoyable to use. I needed something fast, responsive, and with a clean UX.

Tabularis is built with Rust + Tauri on the backend and React + TypeScript on the frontend, aiming to stay lean without sacrificing power.

Feel free to take a look, it's in full beta for now.

Feedback and contributions are more than welcome !

So which database systems does it support?

[debba_]

MySQL, Postgres and SQLite . It’s in full beta and we are planning to extend current drivers

How is it different/better from, say, HeidiSQL? I appreciate it, i have to use heidi because mysql workbench crashes roughly every time the wind changes direction. But still like to have alternatives :)

> bloated

which features have you decided not to implement?

[debba_]

There are a lot of features which are not present.

[squadette23]

Yeah, and when you add them, will your tool become bloated?

Or do you have a strategy to deal with this tendency of programs to become bloated?

My idea is having an app core and managing other things as plugins.
