Für die Tabelle nehme ich noch Tipps entgegen. Ich baue das ja in #GoogleSheets, aber ich bekomme das nicht in #Airtable oder #Grist.
Versuche jetzt noch, was mit #DataTables zu bauen, aber wahrscheinlich scheitere ich. Am besten ein Tool, das #GoogleDocs einlesen und synchronisieren kann, aber hübscher aussieht. Sollte filtern und sortieren können, Gruppieren wäre auch noch cool.
And with regard to the spreadsheet: I have now tried presenting my data (from Google Sheets) in #Airtable or #Grist (because both look pretty), but both don't sync with the sourca data.
Next I tried connecting #Sheets to #DataTables (because that's open and also pretty), but that doesn't work either.
Now I'm trying to visualize my raw data with #DataTables, but that's still difficult. I need a no-code solution and really, #Google is so useful, although many here don't like to hear it.
The #AirTable community forums are down and I'm left to my own devices...
@tangee un temps j'avais utilisé #airtable qui peut peut être te plaire ? (mais je viens de regarder leur site, et eux aussi plongent dans l'IA...)
Après j'avais plongé tête baissée dans l'univers #Notion qui est absolument fantastique, sauf que c'est un modèle qui va devenir de plus en plus payant au fur et à mesure qu'on sera dépendant, et qui met de l'IA partout en ce moment #Tristesse
#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.

After the dissapointment that was Greg Cox's latest #StarTrek novel, I'm looking to go a bit back to novels with less fan service and away from, and this is not a knock on them, David Mack and Una McCormack. They're great, but I feel I've only read them a lot in the past couple of years.
I know there was a list out there, on #Airtable of Trek novels by series. Or a Google Spreadsheet. Is there a good soul that can drop a link to this book worm? 
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.
NocoDB 
The #OpenSource #Airtable Alternative
Turns any #MySQL, #PostgreSQL, #SQLServer, #SQLite & #MariaDB into a smart #spreadsheet
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.
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:
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
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!
#Airtable -like interfaces are amazing for prototyping and wish they'd arrived some years earlier.
There are several open-spurce "clones", first were https://baserow.io and https://nocodb.com then https://aitable.ai and https://getgrist.com and now https://teable.io
Interestingly, they all offer a SaaS product, and several click-to-deploy methods for their open-source self-hosted version.
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.
@SciPolNetwork you are sending fundraising spam via Airtable which doesn't provide a mechanism to unsubscribe. Airtable support only suggested I block email from them on my mail server, which would block all Airtable mail for all our users. Curses to both of you. #spam #airtable
