Here is our attempt at Visual Programming: BuildShip[0]
Top level layer is a no-code box but you can dig in a level deep to look at the code. You can edit the workflow with nocode or lowcode. AI can help with code gen. Plus connected to your database, tools like S3, Postgres, Firebase, Supabase etc and ships in one click to a Cloud platform like Google Cloud.

Interesting to see the evolution of Visual programming across many tools. We are working on something similar[0] for low-code/no-code devs focusing on creation of APIs, backend tasks, and AI workflows.

You can checkout opensource project Rowy
https://github.com/rowyio/rowy - it a spreadsheet UI for database and can do databasy things like you said!
formulas but in JS/TS,
on data change trigger of serverless cloud functions,
assign default values for database columns,
granular permission controls,
store files/assets images to cloud storage,
bulk deletes and more.
Disclaimer, I am one of the makers :)
thats great to hear! We would love to showcase your product to our community if you are interested, you can join our community on Discord
https://Buildship.com/discord and ping me. Thanks :)
Glad to hear that, we are getting lot of positive feedback from users and would plan to keep iterating to make it even better experience soon :)
Great to hear you are enjoying building using BuildShip. Thanks for your support.

Hello HN! I am Harini and along with my co-founder Shams, we just launched BuildShip. We are the team behind Rowy.io and we created BuildShip based all the feedback/and user requests we got from Rowy's community of no-code/low-code builders and developers.Today you can create your backend workflows using nocode tools (but they lack scalability, flexibility, and extensibility and end up being...

We use Webflow for building our website, but its CMS is limiting in what it can do. So we built NocodeCMS - to supercharge your Webflow CMS on an Airtable-like UI, with Rowy's low-code and open-source platform.You get:
- Rich features including 35+ field types (Markdown, Code blocks)- Collaborate with any number of CMS editors for free- Unlimited storage for your images/files on your own Google...

We built AI Bot Builder as an easy low-code way to create any AI bot like Whatsapp ChatGPT bot for bedtime stories app, travel planner app or customer support whatsapp customer support bot etc with clonable templates.These backend templates comes with pre-built database and cloud functions that can be deployed to your own GCP project in one click with full flexibility to change the logic anyway...

We made ParallelGPT - a tool that lets you bulk process chatGPT on a spreadsheet UI instead of one-by-one conversation style. Hopefully this saves you time and hassle - especially if you want to build an operational process around it and want to collaborate your team.You can give it a quick spin on this live demo playground: https://demo.rowy.io/table/parallelGpt#sideDrawer=%22table-i...I am...
The link you shared looks like its built with a propriety microsoft software with steep enterprise pricing.
For starters this roadmap app is free and open-source :)
Firetable is now Rowy but bigger and better :)
If it helps, Rowy has dark mode :)
It should work if you use on a project that has Firebase enabled. Feel free to join our Discord and we can get your sorted in case of any other questions :)

Yes, Rowy has no limits on rows as it is actually an Airtable-like experience on Firebase database and not a nocode product that doesn't scale. You can go form MVP to scale without any limitations.
We haven't heard of this one, are they still active? Would like to hear your thoughts on how you use DabbleDB.
Thank you and yes we want to empower developers build fast on GCP from MVP to scale, with full flexibility. Your code and data stays on your own Firebase so don't have worry about locking in with us :)
Currently, we are fully open-source and plan to introduce additional PRO features/parallel products sometime in the future.
That's correct, Firetable is now Rowy. We are the original creators of the Firetable open-source project and now rebranded to Rowy with tons of new features added in our latest v2.0 launch.
I was the Head of Technology/Global Partner at Antler and I have left recently to build this company.
Check out our github: https://github.com/rowyio/rowy
Tables I would image when it is released, should be a great Airtable alternative. With Rowy, we are building an Airtable like experience but your actual database on Firestore. So that developers can continue to build their apps.

I love the last sentence :) Indeed we are trying to solve for users on Firebase and solve their pain points first.
- We only fetch the rows of data as you keep scrolling and render only what you see on screen.
- Since we are built on Firestore database, it is the same DB throttling as what Firestore provides which is 10MB IOPS
- Since we only render what you see on the screen, the UI is very responsive and so can continue can scale.
We are trying to build a product that solves for all the pointpoints when you are building on the cloud starting with GCP. And being able to be on top of your cloud expense is a #1 problem we have seen lot of people in the Firebase community complain about and so we want to solve for it as well.
Currently, we are fully open-source and plan to introduce additional PRO features/parallel products in the future.
We are starting with GCP/Firestore ecosystem first and solving for all the painpoints in it but are definitely looking at other DBs down he line.
Hi, rather than saying Airtable clone, we would like to say that we bring to you an Airtable-like experience but for your actual production database. So that non-technical users can access the data in a granular permission controlled interface while your developers can continue to build product functionality and scale and not have to do data BAU tasks.
Hi! I want to add that Rowy is an Airtable-like experience for your database. We built it because we like how easy and intuitive Airtable is to collaborate on the data but it has its limitation like any nocode platform does in terms of scalability, not synced to your production apps, limited storage, and inability to control access at a granular level.
Rowy is built on top of Google Firestore, so you can build your MVP and continue to scale. Also, with Rowy you can build your product cloud functions and automations flexible ready-made third party apps, use any NPM package, API... so you can build you product backend without any limitations.
BaseRow in my understanding is a no-code database very similar to Airtable, however we are building a low-code platform which shows your Firestore database in an Airtable-like experience. Which means no limitations that comes with a no-code platform like scalability, not synced to your production apps, limited storage, and inability to control access at a granular level, feature limitations.
With Rowy, you can not just view your Firestore data in Airtable-like UI but also build cloud functions, connect to any third party tool, use NPMs and APIs right in the browser without the hassle of CLIs, terminals or native consoles.
Nocodb is great, however I think it doesn't support Firestore. We are build on the GCP/Firebase stack and deeply aim to solve for all the pain points of Google Cloud ecosystem.
Hi Ramraj, we literally had this painpoint ourselves and thats why we built it. Rowy is airtable-like experience but on your Google Firestore stack. That means its highly scalable without any limits. Give it a try.
