Markdown-supported notes are highly useful in helping document readers understand database structures. However, creating great documentation is tough and time-consuming because it necessitates rebuilding the entire project whenever you wish to add a useful explanation to a table or field.

Today, we are pleased to announce our built-in Markdown Editor for table/field notes, which will make documentation writing easier.

Here are some highlights of the feature:

• ✅ Quick and easy way to add helpful descriptions to existing documentation.
• ✅ Inspired-by-WYSIWYG editor, friendly with non-technical users without Markdown syntax knowledge.

This feature is available to all dbdocs users, both free and paid. Feel free to give it a try and let us know what you think.

Thank you for your continued support and trust in our products.

We're excited to announce the addition of the new Adjustable Relationship Lines feature.

Overlapping relationships make diagrams difficult to read and understand, compromising the clarity of the diagram. This problem is especially severe in large and densely connected diagrams.

This new feature allows users to manually control the relationship lines between tables in their database diagrams, providing a more tailored and intuitive way to organize complex diagrams.

This feature is available to all dbdocs users, including free and paid tiers.

We believe this enhancement will greatly improve your diagramming experience and we look forward to your feedback.

We are thrilled to announce that dbdocs is officially out of Beta and has gone into v1.0! 🚀

With this release, we also introduce an official pricing plan. This means dbdocs is no longer an experiment, and will be properly supported (and resourced) by our team for your production-ready workload. Expect better support and faster feature development for dbdocs going forward.

Below are some highlights of our Pro plan:

• ✅ Working with large databases: Improve the presentation and exploration of large and complex databases by utilizing features such as table groups, table header colors, and diagram detail levels.
• ✅ Advanced security: Keep your database documentation secure with private mode and directly invite your colleagues into your document project.
• ➡️ Upcoming (in development): Collaborative workspace, project changelog, and many more.

Out of Beta​

As a token of appreciation for your support during the Beta period, for dbdocs projects created before November 8th, all Pro features will still be available until Jan 31, 2024.

After January 31, 2024, these projects will automatically be reverted to the free tier if there isn’t any paid subscription associated with them. If you’d like to continue using the free version, make sure you set password protection (available in Free plan) for your projects before Feb 2024. We’ll automatically convert private projects to public projects when they get a downgrade to the free tiers.

More information about the Pro pricing plan can be found on our pricing page.

Thank you for your continued support, and we can't wait to see how dbdocs helps you streamline your database documentation process like never before. 🙌

We know this is a long-awaited and common feature for projects, so I’m glad to finally share that dbdocs now supports inviting others to your projects.

Previously, to privately share a project with others, you’d need to use password-protected functionality, which is inconvenient when someone leaves your team and poses a security risk of password leakage.

With this release, there are different options to share projects with others:

• Public: Anyone with the link can access it.
• Password-protected: Anyone with the link and password can access it.
• Private: Only invited people can access it.

This is one of our efforts to make dbdocs more secure and adaptable in teams and organizations.

Notes:

• With this release, only the viewer role is currently supported. Many roles, such as editor, administrator, etc., will be added in the future.
• This feature is immediately available to everyone. However, it may be moved to a paid offering when we introduce paid plans in dbdocs in the future.

As always, we appreciate your comments and suggestions. Please give this feature a shot and let us know what you think.
