Haha, fair enough — but I'm a GNOME user 70% and macOS 30% myself — so the GNOME version is getting a lot of love.


I took it for a test spin just now and I'm impressed. Some notes:

- to get it to run (on Fedora) I had to manually installed python3-keyring first

- connected with ease, that part is really smooth

- I like the ability to easily flick through the tabs on objects and see the relevant data

- took me a while to work out how to create a new query, expected to be open a query window then save the file rather than create a file/query at once (unless I'm missing something) - usually I want to query first and only save if needed

- UI is really nice, fits in perfectly

- would be nice to be able to collapse/hide the file chooser in the bottom left when I'm not using it

Also, and I understand it's probably a pile of work, but a graphical view of explain would be amazing. This isn't a feature request, I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff that needs attention first :)

Great work, thank you for sharing.

Oh, and, tomorrow, the first version of visualization of Explain will be shipped as well. :)


Thanks for the detailed feedback and positive words.

I still need to figure out correct packaging on OS's I don't use (Fedora RPM for example).

By end of this week, I'll incorporate some of your feedback into the roadmap. Ty.


Thanks. To be honest I'm going to start using it already. I think being able to easily open a new blank query is the main thing. ctrl+n. That's how I start most of my investigations.


Makes sense, I'll ship ctrl+n -> new sql file in active folder tomorrow. It's been merged.
