Feels like we're very close to another big shift in web dev with local-first apps.
React changed the way we build apps so that UI is reactive to state.

Not $30k, just $30.
No excuses. Time to apply.

It's super common for early-stage startups to start using Airtable as their data store before migrating to a SQL database. Problem is, the migration process sucks.
This solves that in one click, with hosting, schema generation, and data migration ✨
Looking to move from Airtable to SQL? We partnered with Sync Inc to enable the easiest migration process, ever.
Click a button to generate a PostgreSQL database from your Airtable base and keep the same great editing experience you love in BaseDash ✨

Basically this.
We're treating GPT-3 as a human in a room that can do simple cognitive tasks for us very quickly. We just happen to be limited to communication through notes that we pass under the door.
Small rant about LLMs and how I see them being put, rather thoughtlessly IMO, into productivity tools. 📄
TL;DR — Most knowledge work isn't a text-generation task, and your product shouldn't ship an implementation detail of LLMs as the end-user interface

We tried migrating from Redux -> React Query

All you need to do is connect your database.
Today's the final day of launch week—and we saved the best for last: 📈 Dashboards 📊
The name “Basedash” comes from combining two words: Database and Dashboard.
Until now, we've been focused databases.
Today, we’re finally launching dashboards.

Tables are great high-density interfaces for comparing and managing data in bulk, but they can be intimidating, especially for non-technical users.
We designed the new list layout from the ground up with a focus on speed and usability.

The new list layout offers a streamlined interface, surfacing the most important data in the list itself, with access to the rest of the record's data in a familiar, easily-editable form.

Using GPT to automatically setting page emoji, choose which attributes to show in a view, etc.
When you create a view on a table, we use GPT-3 to generate an emoji based on the table name. You used to have to set this manually yourself.
