Products that do what Baastronaut – open-source Airtable alternative built on PostgREST does
Hi HN, sharing a project that my friend and I are working on - Baastronaut (https://github.com/baastronaut/baastronaut) - an open-source Airtable alternative. While looking for Airtable-like tools for my work, I realised that existing tools don't suit what I need. They are either too technical for non-technical users or do not have good developer APIs. For example, to filter for certain rows in Airtable, you need to use filterByFormula, which is clunky. Our main design principle is "projects and spreadsheets should represent database relations but don't make it technical"…

Hey HN! Vinesh, Ian, and Kunal here. We’re building Bracket (YC W22), a bidirectional ETL platform — software that syncs data two ways between your data stack and the spreadsheet tools that your business teams rely on (e.g. Google Sheets, Airtable, and Notion databases), with the ability to add transformation logic (like SQL statements or MongoDB aggregation statements) in between. (https://www.usebracket.com/) In other words, if you want to join columns from two Postgres tables, sync the result to an Airtable table, and allow your Airtable users to edit certain fields from…

Hey there! At our company, Bit Complete [1], we use Airtable a bunch for managing operations. We really like how easy it is to throw up a form to collect information, or to build automations for offline processing like aggregations. One challenge we kept running into was how to build more complicated interactive apps using the API, while maintaining fine-grained access control to Airtable data. Airtable ties identity to API access control via API keys, which makes it very hard to build apps with realistic access control needs. So we built AirQL! [2] It’s a utility layer between Airtable’s…

Existing OSS C++ projects like ClickHouse and DuckDB support reading from Iceberg tables. Writing requires Spark, PyIceberg, or managed services. In this PR https://github.com/timeplus-io/proton/pull/928, we are open-sourcing a C++ implementation of Iceberg integration. It's an MVP, focusing on REST catalog and S3 read/write(S3 table support coming soon). You can use Timeplus to continuously read data from MSK and stream writes to S3 in the Iceberg format. No JVM. No Python. Just a low-overhead, high-throughput C++ engine. Docker/K8s are optional. Demo…

Hi HN! We just shipped the public beta of the hosted version of Mathesar, our open source “intuitive spreadsheet UI, full PostgreSQL power” project. Until now, using Mathesar meant installing and running it yourself. Now you can use Mathesar for free without having to maintain your own infrastructure at https://mathesar.cloud. Mathesar Cloud is run by the Mathesar maintainers through the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that already maintains the open source project. We’re committed to ALWAYS keeping Mathesar 100% open source (no open core), nonprofit, and treat self-hosting as a first-class…
