Why is this better than DBeaver?
Other than the fact that it mentions AI which makes it instantly infinitely worse?

Hey! I get the AI hesitation - it’s everywhere, and I totally understand if you’re wary of buzzwords! With ChartDB, our focus is on making database diagramming simpler, faster, and visually intuitive without the bloat you sometimes find in other tools. The AI component is there mainly to speed up migrations and adapt the tool to specific SQL dialects, so it’s helpful but not in your face.
As for why it might work better for you than DBeaver, ChartDB shines if you’re looking for a minimal, open-source way to visualize schemas quickly without needing a full database management suite. It’s lightweight, community-driven, and designed to do one thing really well: diagram and share schemas with simplicity. Plus, we’re always open to feedback and building features that our community finds valuable!
