Isnt this just a shell? Like psql, for example?

It's not just a shell.
It is a terminal UI in which you can browse tables, go into tables, browse and edit rows in a spreadsheet like interface etc.
If there is any database out there that is commonly used to demonstrate DB software, I could record a little screencast.
So far, it supports SQLite, MariaDB and MySql.

Yes a bit. With a focus on browsing/editing databases.

that sounds great!
One is a command line based database browser/editor. PhpMyAdmin for the terminal, so to say. I do all my database work inside of this editor. The terminal is just so much faster. And has many benefits like that I can use it over ssh and in containers.
Another one I started recently and already use is a terminal based project planner that is completely file based. Each task is a text file.
One that I am currently planning is an ActivityPub client. Like Mastodon but way way leaner. For now, I am basically playing with ActivityPub requests on the command line. Later, I will add a Python web interface on top of it.
