Database drivers as external processes

About three months ago I added support for plugin drivers outside the Tabularis process. External drivers are ordinary programs speaking JSON-RPC over stdin/stdout. This is a retrospective on why that design held up, where it leaked, and the credential bug hidden in a HashMap insert.

Translating Tabularis, the Right Way: Why We Chose Tolgee

Tabularis ships in 8 languages, but contributing a translation has meant editing raw JSON in a Git diff with no idea where the string lived. We've picked Tolgee to change that: open source, self-hostable, context-rich translating. Tolgee is also backing the project while we do it. Here's the honest why, and what's coming: community translations from the web, delivered over the air, with in-app translating as the long-term goal.

We Vibe-Coded a Database-Themed Platformer

We gave Fable 5 a single day and accidentally shipped a browser platformer themed entirely around Tabularis — three database worlds, boss mascots, hidden plugins. It's free, it's open source, and we're not game developers. If you are, let's build new worlds together.

Fable 5 Opened a 1,800-Line PR on Tabularis in 30 Minutes

A Tabularis dev experiment: we asked Fable 5 to add a CLI to the app and went to make coffee. We came back to a draft PR — 1,800 lines of Rust, 37 tests, a refactor we'd have done ourselves, and two pre-existing bugs quietly fixed.
