Btw, could someone more knowledgeable than me explain why the app works ~okay on Chrome but works at like 2 fps on Safari? What, if anything, can I do to fix this? I'm guessing it has something to do with how Webkit's rendering engine works, but such things are beyond me

Creator here, thanks for sharing my link! I was going to do a Show HN when it was more polished, but publicity never hurts :)

It will always be free to use; affiliate links for product-focussed databases is a strong possibility

Thanks :) Care to share your project?

We're using Ant Design

I won't get too deep into our architecture, but needless to say letting users dynamically edit/add/remove fields in their databases is not easy. We use Postgres + Prisma as our ORM, and I'm fairly happy with its DX re: handling this level of complexity

I remember that post! I had commented on it, back when this project was still very early and using a different name.

I agree with all your suggestions, and we've considered most of them. Importing CSVs presents some challenges, particularly with trying to infer the type and valid values of each column.

Not at the moment, but I'm very open to adding new views to the UI!

The taxonomy and metadata, as you put it, is defined by the moderators/community of each database. We just give them drag-and-drop tools to do so :)

"I want to empower more individuals to publish, maintain and collaborate on small indexes. To build a million tiny libraries, community databases, weird collections and indie indexes."

Funnily enough, a friend and I have been building https://Trayja.com, a tool which does this exact thing, with a focus on the "community" aspect. There's a huge amount of wisdom in communities, whose value could be multiplied if it would be aggregated in a structured, indexable, searchable way. This article articulated so much of what I've been trying to explain about my project.
