Browser tool for prototyping star schemas

Browser tool for prototyping star schemas

I have a database diagramming tool side project, and building on the work that went into that, it was kind of easy to make a browser tool for prototyping star schemas: https://vibe-schema.com/star-schema-creator - There's a snowflake variant too, just swap "star" for "snowflake" in the url. Feedback welcome :)

I used Fable 5 as an antivirus

Two weeks ago, in my alt+tab on Windows, I saw a weird window titled "run" which I couldn't close, and if I clicked on it, it wouldn't open any window. Seemed suspicious.

Asked Fable 5 to look through my running processes. Didn't find anything suspicious.

Then it suggested a command to restart the Windows task bar (which is apparently an application you can just restart, without closing your open windows), with the hypothesis that it might be a taskbar bug.

After restarting it was indeed gone. I think it mentioned it being a common taskbar bug, which seemed plausible enough to continue with my day. Hope it was correct.

Anyone used Fable 5 or other models in similar ways?

Simple tool for visualizing huge databases in chunks

Created an easy tool for visualizing huge databases in chunks using:

  • Table groups (see the colors in the image)
  • Diagram views (to only view a subset of your full schema at a time.

For an example, see this share link

Built a data schema visualizer for large schemas and versioning/diffs.

The beta version of VibeSchema just went live. Some strengths:

  • Create and store snapshot versions of your database.
  • Create share links such as these: https://vibe-schema.com/s/312qXi9Xpqhz7Q2Wub4TuWOXA0c
  • Suitable for huge schemas because of Diagram Views (as in the share link).
  • PNG/SVG exports like the one shown above (taken from the share link).

Curious what you think!
