      Baserow

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

      This was also mentioned in: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2517/seatable-speadsheet-meets-database

      Looks very promising +1

      @plusone-nick certainly when they get through their 2020 roadmap. Basically looks like what most people want to use GSheets for, without the fluff.

        @marcusquinn Yeah at least the end of Aug when they implement the REST api.
        Besides regular GSheets stuff most of the value is in the API for no/low-code dev imo

          @plusone-nick For no/low-code RAD, checkout Directus since it works on any MySQL DB, has GraphQL, all the standard User, Roles & Perms stuff, and ultimately the underlying DB can be used in any way directly or via API with their GraphQL

          It's the best of the bunch for that purpose from my testing at least. I admit it doesn't do multi-user editing of the same thing at the same time al la GSheets - but I've never developed a schema live with other devs that way TBH.

          Hopefully coming to a Cloudron near you soon too:

            @marcusquinn Yeah I am looking forward to Directus, ive dabbled with it and have up-voted the thread. Always good to have a second one in mind & encourage "competition" though lol

                  Been playing with Directus this weekend. It looks quite polished. The main challenge I see right now would be using it against a non-provided DB, which may not be an issue, but something to think about.
                  Will keep at it!

                    @doodlemania2 I think the way to do it would be take an default Directus instance. Export SQL from another App and Import to the Directus DB as I don't think other Cloudron DBs are available outside of their container?

                    Then as you navigate, it recognises and work with whatever tables there are in the DB. The Directus User, Permissions, Audit Trail tables remain separate.

                    Personally, I think it would be interesting to take the SQL from another interesting FOSS App that has a dated interface, like GNU Cash or Front Accounting to give it a modern framework.

                        @yusf worth further packaging as is or hold off until their road-map is complete and or 1.0?

                          @plusone-nick I don’t see the point of packaging it in the current state, no. Let’s see which one of Baserow, Seatable or other wins the feature race.

                            Seatable is very unstable atm. Hoping directus is better.

                              @doodlemania2 I took Directus for a spin. It's a completely different type of tool, it has very little in common with what Airtable/Notion/Baserow/Seatable does.

                                @yusf yeah, it's more a headless crm as opposed to a shiny simple grid, but they sort of fall into the same category. Definitely still need an airtable alternative!

                                          @Staff by the sounds of it this should perhaps be marked as a WIP?

                                          I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                                            There are docs at https://baserow.io/docs/guides/installation/install-on-cloudron if someone wants to try.
