Thanks for the kind words and great feedback! Query capabilities are on our radar, and your input reinforces its importance. The mouse wheel suggestion for zooming is a great idea - I’ll note it for future updates. Glad to hear you’ll give ChartDB a try alongside DBeaver - let us know if you have more ideas or feedback! (give a look to our next innovation - https://buckle.dev Would love to chat. feel free to DM me somehow :)


Thank you! 😊 Really appreciate it! We’re excited to keep improving and adding new features. If you have any feedback or ideas, feel free to share!


Hey all! About three weeks ago, I introduced ChartDB to this community and received a great response with tons of positive feedback and feature requests. **Thank you for the amazing support!** **recap of ChartDB:** For those new to ChartDB, it simplifies database design and visualization, similar to tools like DBeaver, dbdiagram, and DrawSQL, but is completely open-source and self-hosted. [https://github.com/chartdb/chartdb](https://github.com/chartdb/chartdb) Key features: - Instant Schema Import - Import your database schema with just one query. - AI-Powered DDL Export - Generate scripts for easy database migration. - Broad Database Support - Works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MSSQL, ClickHouse, and more. - Customizable ER Diagrams - Visualize your database structure as needed. - Open-Source & Self-Hostable - Free, flexible, and transparent. What’s New in v1.20 (2024-11-17) - Sharing Capabilities - Import and export diagrams easily for better collaboration. - Duplicate table: duplicate table from the canvas and sidebar. - Snap to Grid - Toggle or hold shift to precisely position elements. - New Templates Added - Now includes templates for Laravel, Django, Twitter, and more. - Docker Build Support - Includes OpenAI key support for Docker builds. Bug Fixes & Improvements: - Optimized Bundle Size - Leaner builds for faster loading times. - Internationalization (i18n) - Added support for Korean, Simplified Chinese, Russian, French, and more. - Improved UX - Better interactions for editing diagram titles and smoother SQL export. What’s Next? - More sharing and collaboration enhancements. - Expanded templates and language support. - New deployment options and compatibility for more databases. We’re building ChartDB hand-in-hand with this community and contributors. Your feedback drives our progress, and we’d love to hear more! **Thank you to everybody who contributed!**

Thanks a ton! Glad you like the design - keeping it and user-friendly is what we’re all about. We’ll be here whenever you’re ready to give it a spin!


That’s awesome to hear! Thanks for giving ChartDB a shot! We’d love to know how it stacks up for you and if there are any features you think would make it even better. Feel free to reach out here or join our Discord if you have questions or feedback along the way.


Hey! I get the AI hesitation - it’s everywhere, and I totally understand if you’re wary of buzzwords! With ChartDB, our focus is on making database diagramming simpler, faster, and visually intuitive without the bloat you sometimes find in other tools. The AI component is there mainly to speed up migrations and adapt the tool to specific SQL dialects, so it’s helpful but not in your face.

As for why it might work better for you than DBeaver, ChartDB shines if you’re looking for a minimal, open-source way to visualize schemas quickly without needing a full database management suite. It’s lightweight, community-driven, and designed to do one thing really well: diagram and share schemas with simplicity. Plus, we’re always open to feedback and building features that our community finds valuable!
