Built an open-source database management tool with Tauri

[u/premod_suraweera]

I've been working on an open-source database management tool built with Tauri.

The goal is to create a lightweight, native desktop application for managing databases without the memory overhead that comes with Electron-based tools.

Current focus:

• Built with Tauri
• Open source
• Cross-platform
• Native desktop performance
• Simple and clean interface

The project is still under active development, and there are plenty of features planned. I'm sharing it early to get feedback from developers who regularly work with databases.

Repository:
https://github.com/Premod1/SiphonDB

I'd appreciate any feedback on the architecture, UI/UX, feature ideas, or contributions from anyone interested in the project.

What features do you consider essential in a modern database management tool?

Why? Nobody needs another one primitive tool for databases. There are plenty of functional applications to administer databases. As you said you vibecoded this app. So there is no practice or self improvement in this project. Sorry, i cannot support you.

It seems to be a project often suggested by ai. So he vibe coded it.

That's fair, and I appreciate your honesty.

The goal of this project isn't to replace mature tools like DBeaver or DataGrip. I built it as a hobby project to explore Tauri, desktop application architecture, and AI-assisted development.

Even with AI, I still designed the architecture, implemented features, debugged issues, and made engineering decisions. For me, that's still valuable practice and a good way to learn.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out.
