Idea

A terminal-based UI (like lazygit) for managing Postgres databases. Simplifies common database operations for developers who prefer command-line workflows and want faster, keyboard-driven database management.

Why this is interesting

Terminal-native tooling has seen a real resurgence since tools like lazygit, k9s, and lazydocker normalized the TUI pattern for developer workflows, so the timing is reasonable. The closest competitor is pgcli, which adds autocomplete to the psql experience but isn't a full TUI manager — no clear incumbent owns the lazygit-style niche for Postgres specifically. Revenue is the hard problem here: developer tools with no clear SaaS hook tend to land as open-source projects with tip-jar economics, and "unknown" revenue band reflects that honestly — monetization paths are thin unless it's bundled into a broader database product or sold as a one-time license. The biggest risk is that the target users are exactly the kind of developers who will star the repo, never pay, and submit feature requests indefinitely.
