Nostalgia hits when I see PHP + MySQL stack. My journey with building things started with XAMPP (looks like it still exists and is maintained https://www.apachefriends.org/). There was a very convenient way for administering DB with their admin panel. In retrospection, despite I had 0 real knowledge in programming and it was like 2009-2010 or so, I think it was easier to build thing with this stack than to build things today. On the other hand, nothing prevents me to start using it again, at least for personal projects.
Does anyone have an experience and can compare Adminer to XAMPP admin panel and modern stack (Supabase and similar)? Or PHP vs React+Node or Python+Django?
XAMPP is more like a full application server, while Adminer is similar to PHPMyAdmin, though leaner and with a focus on security and simplicity.
If you, like me, find yourself in possession of databases and need to quickly pull up a simple interface to visually browse them, Adminer is for you. If you need an application development and deployment stack you'll find Adminer solves only a small portion of it.
