OP here, let me share a bit on the backstory of this.
1 odd month ago, our interns were starting to build this little project, our goal is to integrate into the current product (a cloud-based BI), so our users could easily understand their database structure to analyze them.
After a few weeks, we realized that it could potentially become a standalone application to help data analysts/developers design or share their own database diagrams, so we decided to bring it out as a free tool.
The feedback so far from our early users has been really great, so we decided to launch here on HN. Please give it a try and share with us your feedback!
Cool project dude! I tend to use plantUML for this use case but I might actually give this a try. A small suggestion is that you should show the relation between two table (EG: one - many) by default. It's really annoying to hover on the small line to see the actual relation.
Thanks! We will support DDL of individual SQL databases (postgres, mysql, etc). I.e. you can copy your CREATE TABLE statements here and we will translate them.

What kind of import formats are you planning to support? DDL, dot, UML?
