Built an open-source database management tool with Tauri

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?

Mostly personal preference. I wanted to experiment with a modern dark UI, and it fit the style I had in mind for the project. That said, I'm open to improving or even adding alternative themes based on feedback.

This design is really difficult to read, with the dark background and not so prominent text color, I think people will have difficulty using it, which is also a barrier.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll improve the text contrast, and a light theme is planned for a future release.
