Show HN: WinSQLite Editor–Native C++/Qt SQLite with SQLite-vec and 3D graph

Developer srdzank released WinSQLite Editor, a native SQLite database browser built with C++ and Qt 6, distributed through the Microsoft Store, GitHub Releases as a portable .zip/.7z archive, and the winget package WinSQLiteEditor. The editor adds built-in sqlite_vec support for vector embeddings and similarity search aimed at AI and machine learning workflows, plus an interactive 3D scatter visualizer for database structures and vectors, a SQL editor with syntax highlighting and context-aware autocomplete, and a visual data browser. The application runs 100% offline with no telemetry or trackers, requires Windows 10/11, Qt 6.x, CMake 3.16+ and a C++17 or C++20 compiler, and is free in its portable form.
