Show HN: ChartDB Cloud – Visualize and Share Database Diagrams Me and Guy (@guyb3) built ChartDB to generate ER diagrams from your database without a need of any database access (via query/sql/dbml). We started with an open-source version, and after seeing a lot of use we decided to make a cloud version.

Our OSS launch (1y ago) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41339308

Now we’re launching ChartDB Cloud - built for teams:

- Embed ERDs into docs, dev portals, or Miro/Notion etc.

- Collaborate in real-time (with live cursors like Figma)

- Keep diagrams always in sync with your database

- Organize large, messy schemas without pain

- Export DDL in multiple SQL dialects (solved deterministically)

- AI assistant to brainstorm and generate new schema objects or schema changes

We designed it so working with databases feels less like a chore and more like a creative process.

Would love feedback - especially from teams dealing with messy schemas or outdated docs.

Show HN: MCP server for Blender that builds 3D scenes via natural language

Show HN: MCP server for Blender that builds 3D scenes via natural language Hi HN!I built a custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects Blender to LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and any other llm supporting tool calling and mcps, enabling the AI to understand and control 3D scenes using natural language.You can describe an entire environment like:> “Create a small village with 5 huts arranged around a central bonfire, add a river flowing on the left, place a wooden bridge across it, and scatter trees randomly.”And the system parses that, reasons about the scene, and builds it inside Blender — no manual modeling or scripting needed.What it can do: - Generate multi-object scenes like villages, landscapes, from a single prompt - Understand spatial relations — e.g., “place the bridge over the river” or “add trees behind the huts” - Create camera animations and lighting setups: “orbit around the scene at sunset lighting” - Respond to iterative changes like: “replace all huts with stone houses” or “make the river narrower” - Maintain object hierarchy and labels for later editingTech Stack: - Blender Python scripting - Node.js server running MCP - LLM backend (OpenAI / Claude, easily swappable)Demo: <a href="https://blender-mcp-psi.vercel.app/" rel="nofollow">https://blender-mcp-psi.vercel.app/</a>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/pranav-deshmukh/blender-mcp-demo/">https://github.com/pranav-deshmukh/blender-mcp-demo/</a>Curious to hear thoughts from folks in 3D tooling, AI-assisted design, or dev interface design. Would you find this useful as a Blender plugin? I’m open to expanding it!Please try it and give it a star on github
