Congrats rnavi and team on making it to HN front page again! I've continued to follow and enjoyed using it. I'd recommend to try it for Airtable-esque usecases (or independent of it too).
For those who are hearing about Nocodb here for the first time, it was listed in 'Show HN' about an year ago [1][2]. It had 2M+ docker downloads in 16 weeks when it showed up in HN and ProductHunt. And, a user/customer found Nocodb in HN and wrote an angel check [3].
The project has 30K Github and is one of the fastest growing open source projects in the world. All of the code + integration plugins like storage (S3,Google cloud storage, Minio, DO spaces), Email (SES,SMTP) and chat (Twilio,slack,Teams) are all open source too [4][5]
yeah, this is a key component of supabase (which you get out of the box if you host postgres with them).
I doubt I'll ever host postgres anywhere else but supabase at this point. The cost is competive with AWS/GCP but you get a ton of tools (like auth) built in.
https://github.com/jeffknupp/sandman2 works with many different backends including sqlite, but postgrest definitely have the auth flow and security model right for these things.
I came across nocodb when I was looking for an alternative to Airtable, which is laughably underpowered (e.g. no way to query tables with any kind of expressiveness) despite having an amazing UI. I ultimately didn’t want to self-host so I moved on, but may look at giving it a shot again as nothing has really fit the bill.
I am working at finn.auto. We are using Nocodb extensively and are a big contributor to the project. We have a lot of open tech positions and some of our engineers focus on contributing to Noco directly. Check out https://www.finn.auto/careers
Let me know if you are interested and I can tell you more or put you in touch with our team working on this.
Shame that you don't need senior backenders. I just finished a very toxic contract and I'm looking for more stable employment. And I'm very interested in the area that Noco is serving.
But still, if you need a very practical guy with 20 years of career who is now mainly working with Elixir and Rust, give me a ping.
Is there a similar project that's written in golang? I love datasette, and this looked promising when I tried it a couple months back. But I am spoiled by golang's staticly linked binaries. I'd love to have a library that I can embed and use it as a makeshift UI over a (sqlite) db
I am using for dumping security reports (vulnerabilities fetched from other platforms) and then quickly generating views for managers (cleanup and aesthetics in a way they understand). I am using it to manage staff on-call and off hours work as well as freelance contracts. Until now the unique integration I've enabled is to notify some teams on Slack. Anyways I miss some features like adding some math formulas in some fields. It is still very lean tool (few features)
In my quest for a cool usefull nocode tool I've not found anything that is one solution that fits all. The cool drag and drop frontend solutions are only for internal tools and the api/admin stuff like nocodb is limited on that side. Perhaps I need to find a javascript frontend that connects with nocodb, with drag and drop etc.
