Show HN: Mathesar – open-source collaborative UI for Postgres databases Hi HN! We just released the public alpha version of Mathesar ( https://mathesar.org/ , code: https://ift.tt/l5SbsAI ). Mathesar is an open source tool that provides a spreadsheet-like interface to a PostgreSQL database. I was originally inspired by wanting to build something like Dabble DB. I was in awe of their user experience for working with relational data. There’s plenty of “relational spreadsheet” software out there, but I haven’t been able to find anything with a comparable UX since Twitter shut Dabble DB down. We're a non-profit project. The core team is based out of a US 501(c)(3). Features: * Built on Postgres : Connect to an existing Postgres database or set one up from scratch. * Utilizes Postgres Features : Mathesar’s UI uses Postgres features. e.g. "Links" in the UI are foreign keys in the database. * Set up Data Models : Easily create and update Postgres schemas and tables. * Data Entry : Use our spreadsheet-like interface to view, create, update, and delete table records. * Data Explorer : Use our Data Explorer to build queries without knowing anything about SQL or joins. * Schema Migrations : Transfer columns between tables in two clicks in the UI. * Custom Data Types :: Custom data types for emails and URLs (more coming soon), validated at the database level.

Women Pioneers at Muni: Adeline Svendsen and Muni’s First Newsletter By Jeremy Menzies To close out Women’s History Month, here’s a look back at one woman whose work to bring Muni staff together in the late 1940s created a legacy that lives on to this day. Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
