mathesar VS koillection

Congratulations on launching, it's nice to see more open source products in this area (I work on https://mathesar.org/). Feel free to reach out if you'd like to talk and compare notes.

This is what we're trying to do with [Mathesar](https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar). We probably don't meet your needs yet because we don't support real-time concurrent editing, but we're actively working on the project and it is early days.

I'm an engineer on the Mathesar core team and I'd just like to clarify that Mathesar does support grouping to some extent. Here is a screenshot[1] that demonstrates the grouping functionality. Grouping levels are unlimited. You can play with this functionality on our live demo[2]. It's worth mentioning that Mathesar does not yet have the capability to expand and collapse groups, but that feature is planned[3].

Best of luck building Visual DB! Nice to see more innovation in this space!

I’m not sure if it’s okay to plug my project, but I work on Mathesar (https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar) which can be used as a Postgres GUI. We’re putting a lot of product/design effort into making it nice to use for non technical users.

Otherwise, I just use the command line.

We're trying to do this with Mathesar: https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar. Some feedback would be great!

We're trying to build a community driven project in this space - https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar. We just did our alpha release a couple of months ago.

I'm philosophically opposed to open core (Mathesar is run out of a non-profit), but I can see why other projects do it – finding funding for a big project like this is difficult without VCs (who expect returns).

I'm working on https://mathesar.org/ – it's an open source database solution built on Postgres, you can import data, connect to multiple databases, edit data and build reports. It can't connect to non-Postgres databases, so it may not work for you.

We've just released Mathesar v0.1.2. Major new features are support for multiple databases in the UI and more options for installing Mathesar. We also made a bunch of smaller UX improvements and fixed a few bugs. Our full release notes are here: https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar/releases/tag/0.1.2

We did this for our open source project, Mathesar (https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar), which also uses Django. It's a lot of work. You can take a look at our code if it's helpful.

Maybe something like that : https://github.com/benjaminjonard/koillection with an additionnal field "rating"?

If anyone wanted to host a pretty functional database themselves on a Pi or similar, I'd recommend Koillection

Try https://github.com/koillection/koillection

First, no, that cannot currently be done. It would require the developer to write a whole new section. Second, there are plenty of other apps that would serve your needs likely better. If you're collecting physical movies (like DVDs), check out Koillection, and if it's digital movie files, try Plex, tinyMediaManager, or Radarr.

* To-do lists, like trello - move items through a workflow - backlog/doing/done.

You could invite collaborators to view/edit, add images/video, make lists public/private, make fields mandatory/optional, import/export to common formats etc.

Kind of like koillection(https://github.com/koillection/koillection/) mixed with an Amazon wish list if that makes sense?

I think it's possible to achieve something similar with other more general tools like Airtable, Nocodb, GSuite etc but they're less focussed on lists and you have to do a bit of work to get them looking presentable.

Just wondering if anyone else would find this useful and what they might want from it.

Koillection - it has a loan table

Other apps like nocodb and koillection itself are powerful but too general to handle a wish list workflow which needs to be able to invite external users to edit data in a specific way.

Apart from Snipe-IT, if you want something simpler you can loot at: https://github.com/koillection/koillection
