#ux s that should be better: #airtable 's user experience after signing into their web app. They say it should be used only on a desktop computer, and they aren't kidding. Their web app lack the very notion of responding to screen size, as if it was designed specifically for large screens. Oh, but they have a native app for iOS. It does start and lets one sign in. But choosing any template to quick-start the building of your own stuff, randomly crashes the app. Over and over again.

#GUI s that should be better: #airtable 's sign-up experience. Upon signing up for a new account, the web site at airtable.com requests your name and a password. That can be entered just fine. But the follow-up on that refuses to load, when using the Firefox Focus app on iOS 18. There's nothing but a pristine, empty space. Tranquil for sure. Probably not the experience Airtable intended.

#ux #usability

#GUI s that should be better: #airtable 's cookie consent and settings display. The home page of airtable.com greets us with a cookie consent display that has a settings option. If you visit that using the Firefox Focus app for iOS 18, it covers the entire page with a translucent overlay, without any kind of button or link, making the whole thing unusable.

Ran into folders vs graph problem in #Obsidian again, while weaning off #Airtable; which rn means #tea + #whiskey.

The issue’s worst w/ 'containers’ like distilleries, whose relations have homogenous names (eg, most distilleries have a whiskey known as “$distiller 12yo”).

Folders + DataView? neat n tidy, but the graph doesn't see the connections & central object note location is awkward.

Prefixes + MOCs or properties? graph-friendly but data-entry intensive & works worse w/ fuzzy-finder.

teable.io seems like an excellent self-hosted #FOSS #Airtable like tool.

1) Unlike #NocoDB, Teable provides full-featured SQL access to the underlying tables.

2) It is improving quickly. In just a few weeks, they've shipped PDF preview, gallery view, calendar view etc.

Excel — самый опасный софт на планете

В 80-е годы компании покупали компьютеры, чтобы запустить электронные таблицы. Автоматический расчёт налогов и зарплат казался чудом. Тысячи бухгалтеров оказались на улице, остальным пришлось осваивать работу ПК, а конкретно — Excel. И до сих пор Excel играет важнейшую роль в бизнесе многих компаний. Без электронных таблиц у них просто всё развалится. Сложно найти на компьютере другую программу настолько древнюю и настолько важную, от которой столько всего зависит. И в такой ситуации факапы неизбежны.

I used #Baserow for #AirTable #SelfHosted alternative, but after I found that it was very limited without premium, I switched to #NocoDB.

But I can't find any #NoCode app builder that is integrated to NocoDB and it is strange.

I'm starting to ask myself what is the added value of a No Code Database if I can't integrate it, especially since I started #Obsidian which can be used for tabular data.

Si te gusta #Airtable sabrás que no es libre. Pero hay otras alternativas que igual se pueden adecuar a tus expectativas. Aquí una comparativa: https://selfh.st/alternatives/airtable/

In today's episode of *Candide Creates Things at 2am That Nobody Asked For*, I present to you: an #Airtable database for a fictional Afro-futurist fringe #theatre festival:

https://www.airtable.com/universe/expKYAM9kjVykS6LM/afro-futurist-fringe-theatre-festival-or-schedule-agenda-calendar

It's inspired by a local #fringetheatre fest, and my attempt to re-imagine their online show search and agenda while completing their feedback form.

I haven't been using Airtable much these days (in favour of #NocoDB), but Airtable still shines in publishing public templates.

Remix away! #cc0

Hello #Airtable users! Are you in the mood to help today? (I'm happy to pay! (though I think this'll take ~5 minutes for someone who knows formulas and Airtable)).

This project is for a progressive Lutheran environmental organization (ELCA) that's working with churches to address the climate crisis.

I am trying to create a formula that will display only fields that have contents in them. That is, if a field is empty, it won't be displayed. (cont-)

Just published a new article in my #selfhosted alternatives series focused on viable replacements for #Airtable:

https://selfh.st/alternatives/airtable/

As usual, let me know if I missed anything or if you have any feedback on the article/series!

LOL, so glad I'd already started replacing my #Airtable use with #Obsidian – the former has, to nobody's real surprise, jumped on the AI bandwagon.

si me dieran un peso por cada servicio que he tenido que reparar por problemas de comunicación con con #airtable tendría suficiente para comprarme un chocolate.

Ahora, no me dan un peso, sino de hecho varios miles de pesos, entonces no solo me alcanza para comprarme un chocolate, sino una dotación anual de Turin seguramente.

Gracias, devs que saltaron al tren del #serverless #headless y otros lesses por darme de comer.

So far the only obvious problem I foresee with #Obsidian properties is that the value completion maps to the property name, which is global. I obviously get why this is, but it means that it's not a 1:1 mapping to what I do in #Airtable.

Eg, “Status" fields - those differ for each base in Airtable since the 'status' of an eg tea merchant will differ from how I categorize eg martial arts films.

In Obsidian, completion will mix those all up. Not world-ending, but still friction.

Navigate the hybrid world of software architectures wisely! Whether it's a UI-centric tool like #Webflow or a data-centric one like #Airtable, tailor your approach to optimize both frontend and backend development. #NoCode #CustomDevelopment
