@doodlemania2

I was about to make a new post on this but i suppose a response here is okay for now: https://baserow.io/blog/open-source-release-of-baserow

They have a road map through Nov on their site too: https://baserow.io/

looks like a +1

@plusone-nick Nice! Looks like a different app though, so would need it's own post for it's own votes.

@marcusquinn Made a dedicated thread

I've just found this thread and the Baserow thread.

I've spent about 10 minutes with both and seatable was much easier to get started with.

I'd considered using airtable recently on a project but we had to stop as it didn't meet privacy requirements. Crazy shenanigans like not being able to guarantee the privacy of the data generated.

@ei8fdb Would you please further elaborate or provide some docs if available? I am in a similar situation regarding airtable

[ei8fdb]

Hi @plusone-nick hmm, I'm afraid I'm not able to give too much detail - not that I wouldn't like to - the details of the discussion were handled by a lawyer and she was not impressed by Airtable's use of cookies, and their handling of user's data.

In our case we were creating a campaign website with thousands of email addresses and names. They weren't able to guarantee it - which was all explained (helpfully!) in their privacy policy.

@ei8fdb No worries that's understandable, thanks for what insight you could provide - I will have to take a deeper look into this but thanks again

Seems to be standard MySQL data-store or am I missing something?

Seems so. Though there's a mention of Postgres here.

I would really like having this app… 🤩

Maybe a good integration with Metabase for the sharing aspect. Just point Metabase at the SeaTable DB

@doodlemania2 said in SeaTable - Speadsheet meets database:

we'd really need the original Dockerfile files

Is this anything to go off?

[doodlemania2]

@yusf I wish it was - too many unknowns from that list as to which files are which, etc. I've asked them again if they are interested in being packaged. Will revert if they reply!
