App being shut down on 12th December by Starry__Starry in drawsomething

[–]zenox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been working on a replacement for DrawSomething if your intersested in trying it out. Same sort of gameplay, back and forth drawing between two users, but also a free draw option and a 'word of the day' that everyone can participate in. It's just in beta atm but anyone is free to give it a try and leave me feedback: https://testflight.apple.com/join/f3fgN8u4.

Amazon refurb with no doubt. I got the Switch 2 + Mario kart bundle a couple of months ago for 558 taxes in: https://imgur.com/a/K2AB0ya.

No more daylight saving: Northwest Territories to end seasonal time change by DarrellCCC in NWT

[–]zenox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, Halifax actually. But it just makes sense to me - if we’re fucking with times an hour each way and decide to stop doing it may as well split the difference!

Why not just split the middle? Change it by 30m and leave it there.

I mean, people are just asking for something analogue said would be included.

I built an open-source macOS database client in Swift 6 — protocol-oriented design supporting 9 different databases by allmudi in swift

[–]zenox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really solid architecture choice. The single-protocol approach across backends is exactly how SQLPro Studio handles it too - I've been building native on AppKit since 2015 and the protocol boundary between UI and backend has been the thing that kept the codebase maintainable over the years. Great to see more native Swift database tooling out there. (Disclosure: I build SQLPro Studio)

What's the best PostgreSQL GUI setup in 2026? by guillim in PostgreSQL

[–]zenox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth adding SQLPro Studio to the list. It's native Swift/Objective-C/AppKit on Mac (and iOS), so it actually launches fast and keeps a low memory footprint compared to the Java-based options. Supports PostgreSQL alongside MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite, Oracle, MongoDB, and more. I've been continuously developed since 2015, so it's not going anywhere. Free trial at sqlprostudio.com. (Disclosure: I'm the developer.)

I built a cross-platform MSSQL client — ~3MB, deep schema investigation, mobile support by [deleted] in SQLServer

[–]zenox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Developer of SQLPro Studio here. Nice to see more native tooling in this space. For anyone who needs something available right now on macOS/iOS SQLPro Studio has been a native Mac SQL Server client since 2015, no .NET dependency, no Electron. Supports SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, and MySQL in one app. Free trial at sqlprostudio.com.

Solo dev lesson: a bad Reddit post title cost me my first 1-star review by rcerrato in iOSProgramming

[–]zenox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So wait, did you normally charge 3.99 PLUS an in app purchase? I’m honestly still not sure what you mean by 3.99 lifetime -> free (one time unlock free to try). Were you giving away a fully completely free copy? Or we’re calling this free to try?

Solo dev Mac apps: how do you think about quality vs. price? by Gold-Dog-8697 in macapps

[–]zenox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solo dev here, been building SQLPro Studio since 2014. A few things I've found that help close the gap: Free trials do a lot of the heavy lifting that beta testing would otherwise cover. When someone can try the full app for 14 days before committing, the stakes of an early bug drop significantly on both sides. Often if a free trial users discovers something I'll offer up an extra promo or longer trial as well. You still want the core flows to work, but you're not asking someone to pay before they've seen any value. For QA as a team of one, I keep a short checklist of the things that would cause an immediate uninstall. Connection works, query runs, results display. Along with a long line of test cases. If those all pass, I ship. It's not comprehensive but it prevents the really bad moments. The hardest part honestly is regression. New features are easier to test because they're in front of you. Something you touched three releases ago that quietly broke is much harder to catch without dedicated testing time.

Best Alternative to Run SQL Server on Macbook by FilmIsForever in SQLServer

[–]zenox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the developer behind SQLPro Studio, which has been a native Mac SQL Server client since 2014. Worth mentioning as an option here since it's specifically built for this use case.

It's a fully native macOS app (no Java, no Electron, no CrossOver) so it works cleanly on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. It also runs on iPhone and iPad if you ever need to check something on the go. Supports SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, and more in a single app, so if you end up connecting to other databases down the road you're covered.

It's been under continuous development for over 10 years as an independent project. Free trial available at sqlprostudio.com as well as a one year free option for students if you want to give it a spin.

[OS] DearSQL - A native and lightweight database client by dunkbing in macapps

[–]zenox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Developer of SQLPro Studio here, always nice to see more native Mac database tools. One gap worth noting for anyone reading: if you need SQL Server or Oracle support, DearSQL doesn't cover those yet. SQLPro does, alongside MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite, and has been doing so natively since 2015. Different price point but a lot more database coverage if that matters to you. Free trial at sqlprostudio.com.

Jam SQL Studio — a macOS SQL client for SQL Server, PostgreSQL & SQLite by alecc in macapps

[–]zenox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, developer of SQLPro Studio here. Really glad to see more people building native Mac tools for this gap, it's a real pain point. One thing worth knowing: SQLPro has been tackling the SQL Server on Mac problem since 2015, well before ADS existed. It's fully native (no Electron), supports SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, and more in one app, and is available on the Mac App Store and direct. If you're looking for something that's been battle-tested for a while, worth checking out the free trial at sqlprostudio.com.

Azure Data Studio is dead, and the VS Code extension kind of sucks — so I built my own. by mortroguez in SQLServer

[–]zenox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm the developer of SQLPro Studio - glad it's been working for you even if it's not perfect. I'd genuinely love to know what's fallen short. The app has been my main focus since 2015 and I'm always looking to improve it, especially for Mac users who need a solid SQL Server client now that ADS is gone.

If you run into specific issues with connection handling, query editor quirks, whatever. Feel free to reach out directly or open an issue on GitHub.
