Got home late tonight, didn’t code, just reviewed what I’ve built so far. Looking back, I’ve done something meaningful past year. the best thing about being a developer? You can lose yourself in your own product, no midlife crisis, no emptiness, no loneliness. #DataCollie

For vector databases, GUI client tools are not just productivity aids. It don't just need visualization; the depth and approach of their visualization directly determine how efficiently users can leverage this powerful AI-native infrastructure.

Vector DB clients differ from traditional RDB ones — they run similarity searches and interpret scores, not exact matches. It’s about semantic exploration, not logic filters. The next wave of DB tools starts with native vector support. #DataCollie #buildinpublic

This weekend, I combined the table data query and table designer into a single tab.More importantly, I set a new rule for the interaction logic: every feature should have only one entry point (except the right-click menu). #buildinpublic #indiedev

Day 512 of building #DataCollie
I’ve been struggling with whether to put Query Table Data and Table Structure Design in the same tab or not. Split, merge, split again — at least three times. Starting to feel like I have zero product sense. 😅 #buildinpublic

Pretty sure I’m the worst product manager disguised as a programmer. Build a module → overbuild it → simplify it → scrap it → repeat. It’s basically the infinite loop of shame 😂

Cleaned up the right-click menu on data objects tonight. When I first started last year, I crammed in way too many options. Now it’s all about trimming things down—feels like a new phase of development. Release day’s getting closer!

Nasty bug tonight: when TableView shows a vertical scrollbar inside a complex layout, it redraws and messes up the data view.After hours of digging, wrapping the table in a ScrollPane did the trick. Smooth and stable now.

Adapting to different database features is the toughest challenge for DataCollie. I've spent two weeks working on the table designer for MySQL, making steady progress, but there’s still a long way to go.
