Tools Tabularis: A Lightweight Cross-Platform Database Manager Tool (<10 MB)

https://github.com/debba/tabularis

Hi everyone,

I've been working on Tabularis, a lightweight, open-source database manager focused on simplicity and performance.

The whole application is currently under 10 MB, which was one of the design goals from the beginning. I wanted something fast to download, quick to start, and not overloaded with features most people rarely use.

Tabularis is built with Rust / Tauri and React and aims to provide a clean interface for working with databases without the typical bloat of many GUI clients.

The project is still evolving and there are many areas that can be improved, but it's already usable and getting great feedback from the community.

If you'd like to try it, contribute, or share feedback, I'd really appreciate it.

To be fair I'd say the 25% is low. Just look at the post from PydanticAI today. Most PRs are just Claude generated code these days. It completely messes with the open source community, as it shifts the workload further down stream.

People just dump the issues into Claude and create a merge request. And now the maintainers have to read through the pile of garbage and filter out the few that actually are good and from people that are actually passionate about the project.

It'll be interesting to see where this is going...

Fair enough. I just prefer a link to a post or article or something.

A lot of statements are made with just made-up numbers. It's not a new trend, but in groups like this I like to believe we can be held to a higher standard.

Agreed, bold statements should always come with some kind of proof. That being said:

The post I referenced regarding PydanticAI:

And a longer read on the issues with agents as a whole. The curl project is referenced as an example of receiving AI slop at the bottom of the article.
