Hi, my name is Anguel and I am one of the developers of WhoDB (https://github.com/clidey/whodb)

I am not a fan of the dbeaver, beekeeper, adminer, etc experience because they are bloated, ugly, and at best okay but not great.

Hence why I started working on WhoDB.

The approach:

- browser-based (chrome/firefox)

- no bloat

- jupyter notebook-like experience (Scratchpad)

- built-in AI co-pilot with ollama (local) or openai/anthropic

We just shipped query history and replay (time travel?) to the Scratchpad.

Would love for you to check it out and give some feedback aka roast us into oblivion:

docker run -p 8080:8080 clidey/whodb

Food for thought:

1. What's your biggest database pain point?

2. Any killer feature missing from current tools?

Unsolicited feedback (or I guess solicited reading the post again): Juypter Notebook experience got me to click because I thought this might be like a Deepnote alternative

But the only screenshot on the Github page was decidedly not that. It wasn't showing something very appealing visually, or immediately obvious in terms of necessity for a tool calling its competitors ugly and bloated

I don't use any of the ones you listed so maybe they're even uglier, but I would maybe tweak the pitch and make it clearer who this is for
