Hello HN! My name is Paras and I am building this project called Slashbase. It's an open-source collaborative IDE for databases in browser. Connect to your database, browse data, run a bunch of queries or share queries within your team, right from your browser. Works with two types of databases: PostgreSQL and MongoDB.

It's written in Golang and Nextjs React Framework and runs as a single binary.

Features:

- Cloud based: Setup on your server. Works in browser.

- Easy to use: with minimal interface it is simple to use.

- Collaborative: Works with your teams. Easy sharing queries within team.

- Database Support: Works with two types of databases: PostgreSQL and MongoDB.

It's in beta phase and all I am looking for is some users who want to try it out and drop some feedback in comments.

I see (on the architecture page) Slashbase uses SQLite to store it's own app data, but it doesn't support SQLite as the target database? Is there some particular reason?

no particular reason.

You may want to add it, as it could give a simple backend backed into the binary, so it would be fully standalone: it could just create and use a file.sqlite

Do you have plans for extending it to other databases in the future (eg. MySQL)?

Very interesting project. Looks like you are going in the direction of an open source PopSQL instead of something like dbeaver and I really like it.
