Looks nice. A honest question tho, why? What is the use case for such tools? I usually don't want to have non-techs messing around in the DB and for me personally i don't see a benefit to the command line (i actually assume to be able to do way less than on the command line)

If you have great experience and knowledge in command line tools, I believe using psql is a good way to go. Psql is a great tool, but I also would like a better gui.
I always wanted a free alternative for pgAdmin. I hope the project continues... in open source.
I think such tool is targeted at you if:

a) you are a developer that needs to interact with a database

b) you don't have expertise with that database

i.e: I needed to develop against mongo some weeks ago, I normally don't do that and robomongo was a big help in this regard.

I think it's a pgAdmin like project. It's obviously unfinished (normal for a 48 hours hackathon) but with great potential.
