If you’re unfamiliar with all of this, that’s your job to get educated. This is how browser-based JS software works.

The browser version cannot connect to Postgres without a server-side part, for rather obvious reasons - you can’t just make arbitrary network connections from the browser. Electron build is of course different, as that doesn’t have to deal with the browser sandbox.

By the way, here’s a similar issue documented in Outerbase’s repo:

Outerbase Studio Desktop is a lightweight Electron wrapper for the Outerbase Studio web version. It enables support for drivers that aren’t feasible in a browser environment, such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.
