Easy Mode
In v1.0 Easy Mode is temporarily hidden from the UI. The mode's code remains in the repository and will return after a UX rework in one of the upcoming releases. This page describes what's planned and is kept as a roadmap marker.
What the mode is
Easy Mode is an addition for users who are getting started or prefer a visual style. The idea:
- Filter the grid with the mouse → a
WHERE is added to the SQL automatically.
- Drag a table from the schema → a
SELECT writes itself.
- Edit the SQL → the visual builder updates.
- Two-way sync — change one side, see the other.
Plus — plain-English explanations of Postgres errors (SQLSTATE 23505 → "UNIQUE index on email already has this address"), highlights of typical mistakes (SELECT * without LIMIT, LIKE '%foo%' instead of full-text search), and underlined terms with concise definitions (search_path, transaction, JSONB).
Why it's hidden now
The UX turned out to be inconsistent: the tour, easy-linter, and two-way builder gave conflicting experiences, and a user could get stuck in Easy Mode without a clear way back. The team decided not to ship it "as is" and return after a rework.
What works in v1.0 instead
The basic editor and grid are available without any mode — you can write SQL, see results, run EXPLAIN, edit values via double-click. Plain-English explanations of individual errors will return in one of the releases.
