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Would love feedback - especially from teams dealing with messy schemas or outdated docs.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: Parqeye – A CLI tool to visualize and inspect Parquet files

Show HN: Parqeye – A CLI tool to visualize and inspect Parquet files I built a Rust-based CLI&#x2F;terminal UI for inspecting Parquet files—data, metadata, and row-group-level structure—right from the terminal. If someone sent me a Parquet file, I used to open DuckDB or Polars just to see what was inside. Now I can do it with one command.<p>Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kaushiksrini&#x2F;parqeye" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kaushiksrini&#x2F;parqeye</a>
