Phoronix: phpMyAdmin 4.8 Brings Mobile Interface, 2FA & More

Over the weekend marked the release of phpMyAdmin 4.8.0 as the latest major update to this widely-used MySQL web-based administration interface...

It would be cool with a fresh, modern user interface written in Angular, React or Vue with some modern themes. Maybe something like Bootstrap or Material Design.

Mobile interface in phpMyAdmin is like blue cheese in a cheesecake.

"Webdevelopers" doing "webdevelopment" on mobile devices, what could possibly go wrong?

Nothing...

They should invest more time into improving phpmyadmin's performance.
Right now it is slow as fuck or how you call the very very very slow performance.
And what's with the mobile interface?
Professional developers work mostly on two wide-screen monitors, not a hand-size phone.

I like the simple and clean interface of Adminer:

https://www.adminer.org/

Don't ask me how well the two compare performance and feature wise, but I like the idea of clean, simple tools.

I'd rather keep the old shitty interface for 20 more years provided that it not get redone in JavaScript.

I would rather the app that interfaces with hundreds of thousands of records be stupid stable than have a single SQL query fuckup due to JavaScript and trying to make it pretty.

It's like fucking car mechanics or construction workers -- the motor oil and the mud aren't as big a deal as getting the job done right.

Call me crazy, but if I am releasing software with major changes to the interface (mobile support) I would include some screenshots in the announcement.
