madge VS mathesar

something like https://github.com/sverweij/dependency-cruiser maybe https://github.com/pahen/madge or https://github.com/antoine-coulon/skott

You can render dependency graphs with Madge [0] (works with both TS and JS).

It would be interesting to somehow overlay this graph on top of the typescript import graph (generated by something like madge). I suspect it might highlight some poorly organized regions of the codebase, because it would be obvious which component trees depend on multiple clusters of files.

So far, I've always used a tool called madge, which saved my ass countless times.

I've also noticed that eslint cycle checking is slow for large projects, we currently use madge (https://github.com/pahen/madge) for cycle checking and its very fast and is working pretty well.

There's no VS Code extension for it AFAIK, but it's the best (and almost only) tool that I know which can do it for JavaScript code. There's also madge and emerge, in case the first one doesn't fit your needs.

Congratulations on launching, it's nice to see more open source products in this area (I work on https://mathesar.org/). Feel free to reach out if you'd like to talk and compare notes.

This is what we're trying to do with [Mathesar](https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar). We probably don't meet your needs yet because we don't support real-time concurrent editing, but we're actively working on the project and it is early days.

I'm an engineer on the Mathesar core team and I'd just like to clarify that Mathesar does support grouping to some extent. Here is a screenshot[1] that demonstrates the grouping functionality. Grouping levels are unlimited. You can play with this functionality on our live demo[2]. It's worth mentioning that Mathesar does not yet have the capability to expand and collapse groups, but that feature is planned[3].

Best of luck building Visual DB! Nice to see more innovation in this space!

I’m not sure if it’s okay to plug my project, but I work on Mathesar (https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar) which can be used as a Postgres GUI. We’re putting a lot of product/design effort into making it nice to use for non technical users.

Otherwise, I just use the command line.

We're trying to do this with Mathesar: https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar. Some feedback would be great!

We're trying to build a community driven project in this space - https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar. We just did our alpha release a couple of months ago.

I'm philosophically opposed to open core (Mathesar is run out of a non-profit), but I can see why other projects do it – finding funding for a big project like this is difficult without VCs (who expect returns).

I'm working on https://mathesar.org/ – it's an open source database solution built on Postgres, you can import data, connect to multiple databases, edit data and build reports. It can't connect to non-Postgres databases, so it may not work for you.

We've just released Mathesar v0.1.2. Major new features are support for multiple databases in the UI and more options for installing Mathesar. We also made a bunch of smaller UX improvements and fixed a few bugs. Our full release notes are here: https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar/releases/tag/0.1.2

We did this for our open source project, Mathesar (https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar), which also uses Django. It's a lot of work. You can take a look at our code if it's helpful.
