Paul

Hey IH!

I'm a solo dev and I just shipped Paul for people who aren't database administrators.

The why: Every time I needed to check a user's data or debug an issue, I had to wait minutes for DBeaver to load since I have so much data and thousands of schemas. I just wanted to look at the "users" table!

What I built:

- Opens in 2 seconds, under 20MB
- AI agent — ask questions in plain language instead of writing SQL
- Read-only by default (safe to point at production) with edit mode possible from the settings
- Free, no account, no tracking

Stack: Native macOS app, PostgreSQL only, no cross-platform.

What's next: I'm focused on getting my first 100 daily users. And adding missing features !

Would love feedback from other makers here.
