The world is truly changing-and fast.

ChartDB is not just another tool-it's a revolution in database design. When my co-founder, Guy Ben-Aharon , and I launched ChartDB a month ago, we aimed to simplify database visualization.

Why You Should Try ChartDB

If you're a developer looking for an intuitive way to visualize and manage your database, ChartDB is for you. It's easy to use, fast to set up, and makes complex database design a breeze. We've designed it to fit seamlessly into your workflow-whether you're a beginner or an expert.

Here’s what some of our users are saying on our Discord server:

Building ChartDB in Just Three Weeks

We built ChartDB from the ground up in only three weeks, coding it line by line, feature by feature. It was intense but worth every moment. However, looking ahead, I believe we could now build it in a fraction of the time, thanks to the rapid advancements in AI and development tools.

Tools like Code Cursor and Claude 3.5 Sonnet are changing the game, accelerating development and making it easier to bring ideas to life at lightning speed ⚡. This is the future of coding, and it’s thrilling to be a part of it.

ChartDB's Success and What's Next

We’re only getting started. Here’s what you can expect from us in the near future:

AI Integration: Incorporating AI tools to enhance functionality and user experience.
Community Collaboration: Opening up more channels for feedback and contributions.
Feature Expansion: Adding more features based on your suggestions to make database design even more intuitive.

Embracing the Future Together

The AI revolution is not just on the horizon-it’s here. Technologies are advancing at a pace we've never seen before, and they’re reshaping how we approach development.

Let’s embrace this new era together. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, there’s a place for you in this exciting journey.

Nice work! I feel I've been seeing different db visualizer around, but I guess this is different?

Thank you Matija!
You’re right, there are quite a few database visualizers out there, but ChartDB brings some unique features to the table. It’s open-source, so developers can customize it as they need, and it’s designed to create ER diagrams with a single query, making schema visualization fast and easy. Plus, we’ve added an AI-powered export feature that allows you to generate DDL scripts in the SQL dialect of your choice-making migrations a breeze. Would love to know if there’s a feature you think would be useful!
