I make Beekeeper Studio (https://beekeeperstudio.io). This looks really interesting, especially as it is open source.

Do you have many FOSS users self-deploying it?

Hard to know exactly as people get it from multiple sources, but there are a few hundred thousands downloads on Dockerhub, people run it from source, and it's packaged for OpenWrt, Arch (AUR), Fedora (COPR) and a few other Linux distributions. So yeah, quite a few users.

Off topic, but just checked out Beekeeper - Seems like a solid SQL IDE! Had been using Postico before, but going to give yours a try.

Awesome thanks for the kind words!

Beekeeper is really nice.

Same here, I'm fed up from the clunkyness of DBeaver so I'm even ready to consider using an electron app!

And since you don't have analytics, please know that there's at least one person that will use the light theme, please keep it ;)

Does beekeeper have anything in there for exploring relations? Ideally visually i.e. some graph. If so it's not highlighted on the website anywhere.

I know that stuff's useless to work with but it's really helpful when learning a new existing DB.

Sorry for the late response - not yet! But soon we will :-)

I have been looking for something exactly like this. Your origin story is very apt: there really isn't an approachable cross-platform solution for noobs like me. Will definitely be checking this out. Thank you for sharing.

I just installed and tried out Beekeeper. Thank you so much for making this!
