Hey everyone 👋

I’ve been using Convex a lot lately instead of Supabase; sometimes it's faster and easier to set everything in Cursor, but I struggled to quickly understand my database structure, especially when there are many tables or functions. So I built a free tool called SchemeTS to help:

Visualize your Convex database schema
Show tables & functions clearly
A chatbot that lets you ask questions and discuss your schema & functions, really helpful for debugging or planning

I made it initially for myself, but now I’m releasing it publicly.
If you use Convex (instead of Supabase/Firebase/etc.), I’d really love your feedback: whether it’s useful, what could be improved, what features you’d like.

Here’s the tool: https://www.schemets.com/
No pressure, hopes it might be helpful for others too 🚀

Nice! This is great.

#

@slim grove ,

Are there any alternatives for this out there that you're aware of?
Adding workflows would be helpful as well. I believe it has been discussed somewhere else in here.

lofty pike Nice! This is great.

Hi, I haven't found anything similar, so I built it myself.

What do you mean by adding workflows? Can you explain it with some examples? Thanks @lofty pike

Hey!

I have identified one issue. If your schema is not defined in schema.ts, it does not shows it in the UI. It picks up the functions correctly.

Example code attached.

If you search this channel for "schema" there are a couple of other schema visualizers that come up. Not sure how they compare on other features.

I may be taking yours (and the others) for a spin later on. Curious to see how they perform.

Thanks! I had a look at it, but it seems totally different from what problem schemets want to solve. I will think about it and let you know

That should be correct. If the file scheme.ts is missing, you cannot open it… We are looking to see if we can as well. I will keep you updated

Oh my bad, I meant the schema defined elsewhere, but imported in schema.ts (so it is not missing). One of our project is very large so we define the schema in {feature}/shared.ts and then the indexes in {feature}/table.ts. Then from that file, we import it into the schema.ts, this way it is a lot cleaner. I have attached images above, thats exactly this.

this is really cool!
one small suggestion: consider changing the color of these elements to differentiate them more clearly from node connections. especially from afar it looks almost like a mistake (stray lines).
