alt Hacker NewsI asked the same thing on Discord where he also showcased it. He answered the question with this.
> I wanted to make something that makes intuitive sense to me, and I wanted to make a sql version of what lazygit does, namely you can just jump in and there's no need for external documentation. To navigate the harlequin with keyboard only you have to learn the keybindings. Also I though it was quite hard to connect to databases via the cli and install adapters (again, documentation necessary). I wanted to have a tool that you can just run and its intuitive. There's definitely more features in harlequin and I went with more lightweight, though sqlit has SSH tunnels, which harlequin lacks.
When I linked lazysql[0], he replied with this
> That was my original inspiration. Same problem with harlequin, I didn't feel like it was intutive and to follow the "lazy" mindset of lazydocker and lazygit, it should just be easy and not require looking up keybindings. Lazysql ended up with too many features for my taste to the point it was difficult to use
