Objections

  • README lacks screenshots and explanation of how it works

    From 4 comments
    • Sounds really cool but I have no idea how it works from the README. It appears to be web-based. Is it generating static html? Starting a web server? How do I access it?

    • Come on man, you need to lead with a bit more of a README than that.
      mvdtnz on HN
    • Yes, a screenshot would do wonders. From the readme theres no telling if it’s a CLI tool, a Qt thing, or whatever.

  • Name conflicts with existing SQLite Studio product

    From 2 comments
    • "SQLite Studio" seems like a poor choice of name given that it's already in use[0]. [0] https://sqlitestudio.pl/.

    • When I go to the page it says I'm looking at the page of SQLite Studio release 0.1.3. But I already have something called SQLite Studio version 3.4.4 installed on my PC. Is this…

  • Windows Defender flags the binary as malware, likely a false positive

    From 2 comments
    • Windows Defender says: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml : severe Do not download. [Edit: could be a false positive. Do you feel lucky?]

  • Why Docker is needed

    From 1 comment
    • Love that it has a Nix package! Curious about the docker dependency, is that needed?

Alternatives named

  • DB Browser for SQLite

    From 1 comment
    • I'd also appreciate a comparison to DB Browser for SQLite (https://sqlitebrowser.org/)

  • sqlite-web

    From 1 comment
    • This could use a comparison to sqlite-web. I think it's the only other web-based SQLite dashboard. Except maybe phpLiteAdmin which seems dead.
