In a few months you might be interested in Baserow. It's an open source alternative to Airtable that we're developing. Right now we have a very early test version at https://baserow.io that everyone can try, but it's still limited. This month we're adding some essential features and next months will be in light of the open source release. After that you can self host it without any limits.

This looks very cool. I'll be taking a closer look.

One minor nitpick - you might want to adjust your comments and site copy to say "it will be open source" rather than "it is open source". Cheers.

It might be under an open source license. In which case anyone who has access to the source can exercise their rights under that license. Being open source does not necessarily mean that it's available for download on the web, though eventually it will be.

Looks great, hope you'll succeed with this! Having an affordable on-prem alternative with native database support are killer features for me.

Very interested in this! Could you please incorporate rss support in your blog so I can keep track of it?

I've added the issue to the backlog!

Hey, looks like your auth / permissions are messed up. Looks like the app in general isn't functional at all?

I'm seeing DBs/groups from what I believe are other accounts.

Wow, I'm having the same issue right now. It seems to be related to having multiple replicas in the Kubernetes cluster. I've scaled it down to a single replica and that seems to fix it for now. As you can see this is clearly an early alpha version. Thanks for notifying me about this issue and my apologies for the inconvenience.

You shouldn't be able to see groups and databases of others. Can you elaborate a little bit about what you are seeing that is not supposed to be there? Or maybe you can send me a screenshot at bram [at] baserow [dot] io?

I love the look of this. Just make it so it's easy to make full offline backups and I'll be happy to leave hosting and server maintenance to you.

I'll make sure this feature is going to be implemented in the future. Might take a while though, there are lots of other features that have more priority :).

Really encouraging to see an OS option.
