Show HN: Peek – A Figma like DB GUI

tehrash — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 16:35:20 +0000

Over the last year or so I've been building a DB GUI that has all the features I've wanted in a db client. It's built using Tauri (so react for the ui and Rust for all the db interactions, LSP and multiplayer networking). I've been using it as my primary db client for a while but it just recently got to a point where it would make sense for other people to try it so I've [open sourced](https://github.com/getpeek/peek) it and slopped together a website for it.

What sets Peek apart from most other solutions is that all queries and results are laid out on an infinite canvas (like Miro or Figma). You can click on a primary key and see all references to that specific row, or click on a foreign key and it'll fetch and display those rows in new result nodes, kind of building a direct acyclic graph as you go. It'll also give you chart nodes for numerical data in results and you can draw on the canvas like a whiteboard or drop text nodes. You could also run two or three queries and check the results side by side.

There are a bunch more features such as fully P2P multiplayer (based on [iroh.computer](https://iroh.computer)) that works just like it does in figma/miro with live cursors etc. Guests never see the connection details, though, but rather they send commands to the host and the data is synced back to the guest when the host canvas updates. There is no centralized Peek service either, even for address resolution so you don't have to worry about leaking connection information, table data or anything else when using the multiplayer features.

There is a built-in AI agent that works both with local inference with your self-hosted OpenAI compatible server (ollama, llama.cpp etc) so nothing leaves the machine, or via MCP so Claude Code can create nodes, move the camera, analyze results etc. All AI features are fully optional of course and the MCP is disabled by default.

Have a Peek!

Show HN: I made a vi-like modal keyboard plugin for Figma

virgil_disgr4ce — Thu, 28 May 2026 12:48:25 +0000

I live in Figma, and I’m constantly creating autolayouts, and I tend to know as I’m going what parameters each new autolayout is going to need. Figma gives you shift+a to frame objects into an autolayout, but that’s it.

So I built Figmode, which gives you a vi-like modal command layer. So you can type `w` to go into `width` mode and change it to fill/hug/fixed, then ` to back out, then h for height, then spacing, padding, and more. The default keys are optimized such that you can do it all with your left hand, and in nearly all cases without moving your hand.

It’s easiest to see it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35yQikx1XNs

And the plugin itself is here: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1638937084194831846

It’s free and open-source, and I’ve been using it for a little while now and have developed a muscle memory that makes it super productive. I’d love to hear any feedback, and hope it’s as useful to y’all as it is to me :)

Show HN: Breadboard – Figma for Breadboard Hackers

safaorhan — Mon, 25 May 2026 14:09:15 +0000

A few weeks ago, I got into the rabbit hole of creating neatly wired breadboards. I got sick of spaghetti wiring and unstable connections when I wired an esp32 based lora node and carried it around the block for reception tests.

I thought of using pre-cut jumper kits laying around and planning the wiring ahead of time so I could have neater wiring. I also wanted to share the wiring with fellow hardware hacking enthusiasts in my local hackerspace.

First I tried a square-grid paper, then moved to Figma and after not too long I remembered we can create web apps quickly in the age of AI.

And that's more or less the story. Here's the repo for the folks interested in: https://github.com/safaorhan/breadboard

Feel free to open issues for feature requests :)
