BoomFi VS Seqora.dev

Seqora.dev's answer:

• Tauri 2 for the desktop app
• Rust for the database side, using tokio-postgres, mysql_async and rusqlite
• Svelte 5 for the UI
• CodeMirror 6 for the SQL editor

It uses the system web view instead of bundling a browser, so the app is small and starts fast.

Seqora.dev's answer:

It opens fast and does not get in your way. The Free plan covers what most people need every day: connections, the SQL editor with completion, browsing and editing rows, exports and query history. It needs no account, has no time limit, and you can use it at work.

There is no AI in Seqora. Your connections, passwords and queries stay on your computer.

It is built by one person. If something is annoying you, you can email me directly and I will fix it.

Seqora.dev's answer:

People who write SQL every day and also take care of a database as part of their job. Mostly backend developers, and people running a small product on PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite.

They already know SQL. They may not have time to learn what the query planner is doing, or what a foreign key does on delete. Seqora tries to show that on screen so they do not need to look it up.

Seqora.dev's answer:

I built Seqora because I was not happy with my database client. It was slow to open and the shortcuts felt wrong to me.

I started with a small rough version that only opened a database and let me move around fast. I used it daily and that showed me what to build next.

Before writing any feature list, I wrote down four questions I wanted answered without clicking: which connection am I on, will this change data, what just ran, and how does this table relate to that one. Most of Seqora comes from those four questions.

I work on it alone from Hyderabad. I fix the small annoying things first.

Seqora.dev's answer:

Seqora shows you what a change will do before you run it. When you edit a row in the data grid, the edit is staged with the old value and the new value, and you apply it or discard it. When you change the schema on the ER diagram, it shows the SQL first.

The pages for indexes, constraints and triggers explain what they do. The index page tells you which queries that index can answer. The constraints page tells you what happens to the other tables when you delete a row.

The connection you are on, and whether it is development or production, is always visible on screen.
