Tabularis Wins a SourceForge Rising Star Award

SourceForge Rising Star award badge for Tabularis

We're honored to share that Tabularis has been recognized with a Rising Star award by SourceForge.

It's a recognition reserved for a select group of projects out of the more than 500,000 hosted on SourceForge — a platform that sees close to 20 million people a month looking for and building open source software. The award is given for reaching real milestones in downloads and user engagement, which is to say: it's a reflection of you actually using Tabularis.

What it means to us

We don't take this lightly. For a project that's only a few months old, being singled out from half a million others is humbling — and it's not the kind of thing a roadmap or a feature list earns on its own. It's earned by people who downloaded the app, kept it open, filed an issue, wrote a plugin, translated a string, or simply told a colleague it was worth a look.

So the honest version of "we won an award" is: you won it for us. Every star, every release downloaded, every Discord question — that's the engagement SourceForge measured. We just got to put our name on it.

Finding Tabularis useful? Star it on GitHub — it takes a second and helps more developers discover the project. Star on GitHub

Onward

The badge now lives on our SourceForge project page, and you'll see it pop up across our channels. But the part that matters isn't the badge — it's the trajectory it marks. A database client that respects your machine, your credentials, and your time is resonating with people, and that's exactly the signal we needed to keep building.

Thank you to SourceForge, and thank you to everyone who got us here.
