Neon for Herdr: A Neon pane in your Herdr workspace

Neon for Herdr is a plugin that integrates Neon’s PostgreSQL platform into Herdr, a terminal workspace manager, providing a pane-based dashboard for managing projects, branches, computes, connection strings, databases, roles, and recent operations without leaving an editor or shell. Built with Ink, Effect, and the Neon TypeScript SDK, it supports fuzzy project search and keyboard-driven actions to create, rename, delete, reset, and inspect branches, as well as start, suspend, restart, and configure computes. Installation requires Herdr 0.7.0+, Node 22+, and macOS or Linux, while authentication uses Neon OAuth with PKCE and locally stored rotating credentials. Users can configure pane placement, refresh intervals, organization selection, and pooled versus direct connection strings, then assign their own Herdr keybinding because plugins cannot define one directly. The post highlights using the plugin to create a production-like branch for testing a migration, copy its connection string, reset failed attempts while retaining timestamped snapshots, and remove or suspend resources after testing is complete.
