Ask HN: Is it worth building a database GUI?

I'm considering to develop a database GUI based on either Tauri & Svelte or gpui.rs.

Why? For fun, but if it turns out to become a lifestyle business, even better :-).

No seriously, why? The database GUIs I know are either slow, pricey, or both. They also have so many features, it impacts the user experience.

I want a basic tool where I can view databases, tables, edit data. I also want to integrate a bring-your-own LLM key to ask questions about the database.

Does this resonate with anyone? Would you use it if it existed?
