Hey all!

About three weeks ago, I introduced ChartDB to this community and received a great response with tons of positive feedback and feature requests. Thank you for the amazing support!

recap of ChartDB: For those new to ChartDB, it simplifies database design and visualization, similar to tools like DBeaver, dbdiagram, and DrawSQL, but is completely open-source and self-hosted.

Key features:

  • Instant Schema Import - Import your database schema with just one query.
  • AI-Powered DDL Export - Generate scripts for easy database migration.
  • Broad Database Support - Works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MSSQL, ClickHouse, and more.
  • Customizable ER Diagrams - Visualize your database structure as needed.
  • Open-Source & Self-Hostable - Free, flexible, and transparent.

What’s New in v1.20 (2024-11-17)

  • Sharing Capabilities - Import and export diagrams easily for better collaboration.
  • Duplicate table: duplicate table from the canvas and sidebar.
  • Snap to Grid - Toggle or hold shift to precisely position elements.
  • New Templates Added - Now includes templates for Laravel, Django, Twitter, and more.
  • Docker Build Support - Includes OpenAI key support for Docker builds.

Bug Fixes & Improvements:

  • Optimized Bundle Size - Leaner builds for faster loading times.
  • Internationalization (i18n) - Added support for Korean, Simplified Chinese, Russian, French, and more.
  • Improved UX - Better interactions for editing diagram titles and smoother SQL export.

What’s Next?

  • More sharing and collaboration enhancements.
  • Expanded templates and language support.
  • New deployment options and compatibility for more databases.

We’re building ChartDB hand-in-hand with this community and contributors. Your feedback drives our progress, and we’d love to hear more! Thank you to everybody who contributed!
