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/anthropicWe 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/whodbFood for thought:1.

Show HN: Time Travel with Your SQL

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?
