Re:Show HN: Quick-erd a text based erd editor with migration... by jerryu on Saturday January 28, 2023 @05:02PM (#34562438)
Cool! Very different from traditional ERD tools.

Still missing a lot of features and not as snappy/clean when moving tables around I can see lot of lag.

Have you tried erdlab.org? It's free and has some key features missing in your tool. For example, import/export SQL and advanced visual features. Quick one min video of ERDLab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VaBRPAtX08&t=3s or you can login as guest at erdlab.org and try it yourself.

Thanks for the appreciation.

You can reverse-engineer erd file from a live database (mysql/pg/sqlite).

More usage guides in the readme page: https://github.com/beenotung/quick-erd

For sharing / collaboration, I prefer to put the erd text file into the git repository instead of relaying on a cloud provider.
