Interesting tools

Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.

databow

CLI to query any ADBC database.

What we like

Run SQL against any ADBC database e.g. DuckDB, BigQuery, Postgres, SQLite. Syntax highlights the query. Output in a table, CSV, JSON, or Apache Arrow. Supports non-interactive queries from the CLI rather than using the TUI.

What we don't like

Requires an ADBC driver to exist, which means you can’t query some popular databases like MySQL, Clickhouse, etc.

Epiq

Issue tracker backed by Git.

What we like

Manage issues from a TUI, locally-backed by Git so issues live with the code. Works offline and uses append-only events to avoid conflicts (later events take precedence). Uses worktrees to isolate sync from the main dev workflow. Built in kanban board and a web UI.

What we don't like

The tradeoff is no public web UI for others to view / submit issues.
