ChartDB: From Zero to 1.5K GitHub Stars in 3 Days - Here’s How 🚀⭐️

Save Article

The world is truly changing-and fast.

ChartDB is not just another tool-it's a revolution in database design. When my co-founder, Guy Ben-Aharon , and I launched ChartDB a month ago, we aimed to simplify database visualization.

The response has been beyond what we could have imagined. ChartDB skyrocketed on GitHub, gaining over 1,500 stars in just three days!

Building ChartDB in Just Three Weeks

We built ChartDB from the ground up in only three weeks, coding it line by line, feature by feature. It was intense but worth every moment. However, looking ahead, I believe we could now build it in a fraction of the time, thanks to the rapid advancements in AI and development tools.

Tools like Code Cursor and Claude 3.5 Sonnet are changing the game, accelerating development and making it easier to bring ideas to life at lightning speed ⚡. This is the future of coding, and it’s thrilling to be a part of it.

Thank you Matija!
You’re right, there are quite a few database visualizers out there, but ChartDB brings some unique features to the table. It’s open-source, so developers can customize it as they need, and it’s designed to create ER diagrams with a single query, making schema visualization fast and easy. Plus, we’ve added an AI-powered export feature that allows you to generate DDL scripts in the SQL dialect of your choice-making migrations a breeze. Would love to know if there’s a feature you think would be useful!
