Hi all, I’m one of the creators of ChartDB.

- Fully open-source and easy to self-host.
Tech Stack:
- React + TypeScript
- Vite

- Shadcn-ui
- Dexie.js
I’ll be installing this tonight to give it a go beside dbeaver
That’s awesome to hear! Thanks for giving ChartDB a shot! We’d love to know how it stacks up for you and if there are any features you think would make it even better. Feel free to reach out here or join our Discord if you have questions or feedback along the way.
Pretty neat. I think its a really nice looking app and helps navigating the database much nicer. I think what is missing for me is some of the power of applications like dbeaver where you can run queries as you go and easily hop between databases.
Also mouse wheel scrolls page not zoom which I think would be better. Definitely will use this next time I build a db in parallel with dbeaver.
Thanks for the kind words and great feedback! Query capabilities are on our radar, and your input reinforces its importance. The mouse wheel suggestion for zooming is a great idea - I’ll note it for future updates. Glad to hear you’ll give ChartDB a try alongside DBeaver - let us know if you have more ideas or feedback! (give a look to our next innovation - https://buckle.dev/ Would love to chat. feel free to DM me somehow :)
