Show HN: Hoop.dev, Golang server for a web database client

Apr 25, 2024 - news.ycombinator.com
Andrios, the founder and CEO of Hoopdev, has announced the launch of their web database client with a Go-based language server. The client is designed to be user-friendly and team-oriented, and is compatible with any browser. The company is also launching a free plan that anyone can start using. The web-based solution aims to overcome the challenges of desktop database clients, such as secure access configuration and data retrieval from different devices. Hoopdev's client features include schema navigation, autocompletion, grouped outputs, AI-powered data masking, community-sourced workflows, and the ability to share outputs with teammates.

The language server, which runs on Kubernetes, is a lightweight Golang GRPC proxy that can scan and modify layer 7 packets in real-time, enabling real-time AI data masking. The UI uses Clojurescript and the full solution can be self-hosted. Hoopdev's business model is to make the database client so useful for individuals and small teams that their companies will want to pay for the team and security features. The company assures that it will never sell user data, although it does collect usage data and crash reports to improve the product and manage backend resources. Users will soon have the option to opt out of usage data collection.

Key takeaways:
