Show HN: DataRamen, a Fast SQL Explorer with Automatic Joins and Data Navigation

I built DataRamen, a local-first SQL explorer that helps you get the data you need fast, without writing repetitive queries every time.

You run it locally from the CLI (no cloud version yet), connect your databases, and you're ready to go. The goal is to let you explore and query data like you would in a spreadsheet: intuitive, fast, and without friction.

Key features:

- Automatic joins & related data navigation: Right-click any row to instantly see related records in other tables (based on foreign keys or references).

- Keyboard-driven UI: Hit N to jump to a table, F to filter, and so on, it’s optimized for speed so you can go from question to insight in seconds (this point is still in progress, I find it confortable, but the goal is to make it even better).

- Named tabs with saved queries: Keep multiple tabs open with different queries, useful for comparing or cross-checking data. Tabs are saved, so you can get back to your queries at any time.

- Instant edit & insert: One click to edit or add rows, no need to write full queries.

- Multi-DB support: Connect several databases and search across all of them.

- Search across all columns: Find what you need even if you don't know the exact column.

If you've ever felt slowed down by writing the same SQL over and over just to explore your data, this might save you a ton of time. I’d love feedback or suggestions, especially from folks who wrangle data often.
