Bases seem like a great alternative to Dataview [0] but better supported and with simpler syntax than literally writing inline JavaScript for more complicated stuff.

You can also export your table as CVS and they plan to properly support Obsidian Publish which was never supported in Dataview.

[0]: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview, I was a big fan but it seems the author has stopped actively developing it at some point which is a shame.

The repo is now almost 3 years old (started in December 2022) but you still can't install the plugin via Obsidian. Looking at their roadmap, several features have been completed but for some reason they don't think it's ready to for use.
