This is easily my favorite regular post here :D

EncryptKeeper,

It used to be the Noted.lol posts, then when selfh.st showed up there was drama between the two and then noted kinda disappeared.

savedbythezsh,

Anyone used NocoDb recently? Last time I tried to get it running, it was too buggy to be useful

krash,

I’ve been using it for a while without any noticeable problems. What issues did you run into?

machinin,

Out of curiosity, what do you use it for?

krash,

All kinds of stuff. I use it when I need a way to structure my data:

  • I use it to keep track of software / libs that are of interest, what they are an alternative to. See example here: ibb.co/ncsdt0W
  • I’ve also tried to recreate the functionality of a personal relational management (a la MonicaHQ, or per this post: medium.com/…/my-homegrown-personal-crm-87dffbcf54…) but found it to be an overengineered solution.
  • I also used it to interact and store data through my python apps, to avoid dealing with it directly in python.
  • You can also use it as a Kanban board
  • Also, I’ve been trying to use it as an excel replacement - which is an overengineered solution but you get impeccable dataquality.

Nocodb is a bit wonky, but it is quite easy to work with (front- and backend) and since everything is in the database format you choose - you’re in control of how you want your data.

machinin,

Thanks, this is very helpful.

So, is it kind of a replacement for MS Access, except a non-relation db?

savedbythezsh,

I don’t remember exactly, it was around 2 years ago. It was easy to set up, but I found the feature set to be lacking some essentials, and I ran into a couple of big bugs. Couldn’t really replace my airtable setup yet. Happy to give it another try though!
