Show me the docs. It really sounds like you're confidentially incorrect :-)
The app part is indeed just running in the browser. But it needs the data over an external connection. Explain how it can read/write the data to me.
I...don't think I need to. It's all open source. Here is the DBGate repo right here.
If you're unfamiliar with all of this, that's your job to get educated. This is how browser-based JS software works. The "proof" is right there in all it's glory for you to peruse.
The browser version cannot connect to Postgres without a server-side part, for rather obvious reasons - you can't just make arbitrary network connections from the browser. Electron build is of course different, as that doesn't have to deal with the browser sandbox.
By the way, here's a similar issue documented in Outerbase's repo:
Not gonna lie, telling people how they need to get educated on stuff you don't understand ticks me off.
Thanks for backing me up. The fediverse needs to grow because this way it allows for people to be spout nonsense without being corrected by peers.
Btw, had outerbase running trough docker, but could not figure out a way to connect to my own pSql yet..
