After months of development, I'm excited to share DBNavigator, a cross-platform database IDE that I've been building from scratch using Java and JavaFX.

✨ Current Features
✅ PostgreSQL support
✅ MySQL support
✅ Modern Datagrip-inspired UI
✅ Multi-tab SQL editor
✅ Syntax highlighting
✅ Schema explorer
✅ Query execution
✅ Professional dark theme
✅ Cross-platform (Windows, Linux & macOS)

This project has been an incredible learning journey in desktop application development, JavaFX UI design, database connectivity, and IDE architecture.

I'm sharing it with the developer community because I'd genuinely appreciate your honest feedback.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on:

UI/UX design
Performance
Missing features
Overall developer experience
Architecture and code quality
Any bugs or improvements you notice

Whether you're a Java developer, DBA, or someone who works with databases every day, your feedback would mean a lot and help shape the next version of the project.

⭐ If you find the project interesting, please consider giving it a star on GitHub.
