PROBLEM
SSMS is heavy, dated and Windows-only, yet it is still where most SQL Server work happens. Every lighter tool I tried dropped the features that actually matter day to day.
APPROACH
An Electron shell with a React UI, built around three ideas: multiple live connections, a query editor that never blocks, and result grids you can read without squinting. Everything keyboard-first.
STACK
React and TypeScript on the front, a Node layer talking to SQL Server, packaged with Electron for macOS and Windows.
