Do you use a SQL client? Do you share queries with your team via Slack 😱?
I'd like to talk to you 😊.
seaquel.app soon™ supports shared queries, with built in git support.
Last week's query parameters come in handy now! Provide variables and let others enter values that matter to them.

In seaquel.app, you can now visualize your EXPLAIN ANALYZE queries.
It also highlights the hot path, shows you row estimation errors, critical bottlenecks, and slow nodes.
I also kicked off three AI agents for the night:
1) Audit trail
2) Time-Travel Query Comparison
3) Shared queries

Oh no, all I do is enjoy a day in the mountains and when I come back, crypto scam infiltrated AI 😂.
As if crypto on its own wasn't enough of a fraudulent industry, now they come after the other thing everyone talks about.
Funny how quickly people shoot themselves in the foot when they see $.

Hey at least LLMs are honest 😂.
A superpower I've always had that is still relevant to this day is reading the docs. Turns out I'm going to keep that habit.

I'm exploring a more visual user experience compared to the traditional query editor -> results table.
I don't know yet if I'll keep it, but it crossed my mind so I told an agent to build it.
If I keep it, the plan is to make it a multi-player canvas (Figma-style).

Parameterized queries, a prerequisite for shared team queries.
This too was built while I did house chores, in parallel to bsky.app/profile/moot....
Now that effort isn't a limiting factor anymore, we get to add features that add real value for people and their workflows.

For now, Seaquel detects existing DBeaver connections and suggests to auto-import them.

EDD - Error-Driven Development
If you perform EDD with your AI agents, you're doing better than anyone who doesn't use AI agents yet.
I honestly can't believe I'm talking like that, but I'm now 3 weeks into letting AI write my code for seaquel.app and it's truly impressive.

I'm calling the @svelte.dev people of this world... I have a question :).
A SvelteKit app deployed to Cloudflare workers. My `.build/_worker.js` is ~420,000 lines long, 16mb in size.
My brain says this is not right, not even close. However, does anyone have anything similar?

I have a few agents running to improve the Seaquel onboarding and to convert empty states into teaching spaces, as well as a "Coming from X" onboarding flow for DataGrip and DBeaver.
While they're working, I'm preparing specs for the workers who will be busy while I'll sleep.

I'm a bit over a week into all-in vibe coding. This is exactly how I feel too.
I enjoy this way of working because the majority of time I now spend chatting with the most technical product manager I've ever known.
We discuss pros, cons, alternatives, then write a PRD for another agent to implement

I don't speak Arabic, so take this with a grain of salt 😅.
Regardless, telling an AI agent to internationalize my @tauri.app / @svelte.dev database app, taking into consideration the UI for RTL languages, is bananas.
While it was working, I had dinner and literally took a nap on the sofa 😴.

I need an editor for a web app that supports SQL syntax highlighting and auto-completion.
CodeMirror, Monaco, or build a custom one for exactly how I want it 🤔.
Ideally Monaco, but it starts to get a bit heavyweight and whatever I've tried doesn't "just work".
Any suggestions?

Wow ok so this isn't even 24h old but already sparked a lot of interesting conversations.

What do we do these days for @svelte.dev deployments to @cloudflare.social? Pages or Workers?
I can't quite pinpoint what it is, but I get the feeling Pages is a product on its way out with Workers being the favoured product.
I understand the pros/cons of each, but why have 2 so similar products?

Building great forms is not easy. Building great multi-step forms is not easy either.
Building a multi-step form with a summary of all steps at the end, where each value can be edited individually, marks the peak of anyone's career 😊.
