[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Better database discovery (PR #5308)

[Loïc Knuchel]

Hi @gravitystorm,
Thanks for trying it and for your feedback, very interesting.

Loading all the tables at first is a real issue as it's often overwhelming, even in your case with 52 tables. I also have an issue on my side as the auto-layout algorithm I use is not very good :sweat_smile: 
And you are right, the free plan is limited to 10 tables displayed on a layout.

The intended usage is more toward long term usage with handcrafted and meaningful layouts than a single one with everything, but I get it doesn't fit well with Open Source project like yours.
I will look for a better auto-layout algorithm and maybe allow more displayed tables on the free plan on the first layout.

I also see I have to improve the first interactions, especially I should find a way to make clearer how to navigate following relations (you can click on colored icons, primary keys and foreign keys, to display the related tables and build the useful schema).
On the searchbox, I will also add table suggestions so if you don't know what to type, you can at least pick some of the central tables.

Interested by other feedback and eager so see if it could be helpful for you with a few improvements ;)

Cheers!
