Hi HN!

I've recently started working on this side project and I wanted to ask some questions if there's anybody in the target audience for such a tool reading this.

The tool is a plug-and-play JAR file that you drop into the app and, with little to no configuration, will expose a management interface on your Spring Boot app. It will automatically load all your DB classes and provide standard CRUD functionalities. At the moment, in a very WIP stage, it looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/KgTfmfd.png (this screenshot shows a specific table with its data and possible operations).

So my questions are:

1) Do you think this might be useful? From what I've seen there are no solid equivalents of what Django has for Spring Boot apps.

2) What features are you looking for in a tool like this, besides the standard CRUD stuff? CSV import/export; AI features like query the DB in natural language; Graphs and stats; Authorization/authentication; UI customization, etc...

3) Do you think there is a possible market for such a tool or can this see success only as an open-source library? If yes, how would you approach the pricing? It can't be sold as a SaaS because customers would need physical access to the JAR file.

Thanks!
