Show HN: ChartDB Agent – Cursor for DB schema design Last year we launched ChartDB OSS (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44972238) - an open-source tool that generates ER diagrams from your database (via query/sql/dbml) without needing direct DB access.

Now we’re launching the ChartDB Agent.

It helps you design databases from scratch or make schema changes with natural language.

You can:

- Generate schemas by simply describing them in plain English

- Brainstorm new tables, columns, and relationships with AI

- Iterate visually in a diagram (ERD)

- Deterministically export SQL script

Try it out here - https://chartdb.io/ai - no signup required.

Or sign up and use it on your own database

Would love to get your feedback :)

Show HN: Vibe Coding a static site on a $25 Walmart Phone Hi! I took a cheap $25 walmart phone and put a static server on it? Why? Just for a fun weekend project.<p>I used Claude Code for most of the setup. I had a blast.<p>It&#x27;s running termux, andronix, nginx, cloudflared and even a prometheus node exporter.<p>Here&#x27;s the site:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;walmartphone.stetsonblake.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;walmartphone.stetsonblake.com&#x2F;</a>

Show HN: Shadcn/UI theme editor – Design and share Shadcn themes Hey, I built <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ShadcnThemer.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ShadcnThemer.com</a> - a web app for creating and sharing themes for shadcn&#x2F;ui, made with my some of my favorites, Next.js 15, Tailwind CSS 4, Drizzle ORM, and Supabase.<p>The goal was to make it easy to visually design shadcn color themes, preview them live across various example UIs, and export them straight into your projects (as CSS or via the shadcn CLI registry command).<p>I had a bit of experience going into this because I built the Theme Studio for VS Code in the past, but it was fun using a modern stack and leveraging Cursor to help me along the way this time.<p>GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;miketromba&#x2F;shadcn-themer" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;miketromba&#x2F;shadcn-themer</a>

Show HN: Playwright Skill for Claude Code – Less context than playwright-MCP

Show HN: Playwright Skill for Claude Code – Less context than playwright-MCP I got tired of playwright-mcp eating through Claude&#x27;s 200K token limit, so I built this using the new Claude Skills system. Built it with Claude Code itself.<p>Instead of sending accessibility tree snapshots on every action, Claude just writes Playwright code and runs it. You get back screenshots and console output. That&#x27;s it.<p>314 lines of instructions vs a persistent MCP server. Full API docs only load if Claude needs them.<p>Same browser automation, way less overhead. Works as a Claude Code plugin or manual install.<p>Token limit issue: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;microsoft&#x2F;playwright-mcp&#x2F;issues&#x2F;889" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;microsoft&#x2F;playwright-mcp&#x2F;issues&#x2F;889</a><p>Claude Skills docs: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.claude.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;docs&#x2F;claude-code&#x2F;skills" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.claude.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;docs&#x2F;claude-code&#x2F;skills</a>
