Nice work!

I primarily use TablePlus, but it's lack of support for saved queries is a big downside, this could be great for that use case.

A couple of UX things I've noticed, do with them what you will ;)

- When clicking on a table, the more common expectation for me is for it to open that table in a new tab, or switch to an open tab already using that table. The dropdown with columns is nice, but feels secondary.

- When opening a table, it would be nice to pre-seed with X amount of rows immediately. Commonly I just want to filter or search through the data in some way, and being able to immediately interact with it would be a nice touch.

It has a "favorite" feature which I assume is similar to what you're looking for? It's super intuitive imo but does the job

Thanks!

The click interaction is something I'm not sure about. Neither feel totally right. Still thinking about it.

It should fill when you open it. What DB are you using?

Agree with the table click expectation. Was surprised to find that didn't take me to table data.
