Show HN: Teable – Open-Source No-Code Database Fusion of Postgres and Airtable
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.

A modern, open-source spreadsheet that goes beyond the grid
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.

Show HN: Visual DB – Airtable alternative for your own database
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!

Ask HN: What’s the best GUI you’ve ever used for managing/querying databases?
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.

I'm So Frustrated Finding a NocoDB Alternative (Need a Postgres / SQL-Based Spreadsheet)
We're trying to do this with Mathesar: https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar. Some feedback would be great!

Undb – open-source airtable alternative
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).
-
MS Access alternative?
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.

Release announcement: Mathesar v0.1.2
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

I want to create sheets that work like Airtable (www.airtable.com) and use it in my django application any suggestions on how it can be done.
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.

Blazer: Business Intelligence Made Simple
We've used it for about a year - Blazer is okay if you need a quick SQL query console, but we found it lacking as an actual business intelligence tool. The support for graphs and dashboards is limited, for graphs it requires you to structure the query in an exact way as you can see in the Blazer readme.
After some research on available alternatives that don't break the bank, we decided to deploy a self-hosted instance of Metabase[0]. This took only a few minutes to set up using their Docker image[1] and it has much better graphing capabilities and you can easily put a custom layout together for dashboards. Upgrading is similarly easy (just redeploy). Also easy to configure: data sources, hiding or changing the data type of a column, G Suite sign-in for our domain. Highly recommend it if you need anything more than Blazer's table output.

Is Tableau Dead?
I've never used Tableau, but heard a lot of hate about it. However, in my previous role, we were big fans of Metabase (https://metabase.com). You can also self-host it, which was a huge win for us.

My mental model of Clojure transducers
It seems folks want a working example. Here's one in prod:
Metabase is a BI tool, backend written mostly in Clojure. Like basically all BI tools they have this intermediate representation language thing so you write the same thing in "MBQL (metabase query language)" and it theoretically becomes same query in like, Postgres and Mongo and whatever. End user does not usually write MBQL, it's a service for the frontend querybuilding UI thing and lots of other frontend UI stuff mainly in usage.
Whole processing from MBQL -> your SQL or whatever is done via a buncha big-ass transducers. Metabase is not materially faster than other BI tools (because all the other BI tools do something vaguely similar in their langs) but it's pretty comparable speed and the whole thing was materially written by like 5 peeps

(nb: I used to work for Metabase but currently do not. but open core is open core)

Upgrade your Metabase installation immediately
They haven't released the source, and the compiled versions are non-trivial to diff (e.g. there are nondeterministic numbers from the clojure compiler that seem to have changed from one to the other, and .clj files have been removed from the jar).
The old version has `hash=1bb88f5`, which is a public commit: https://github.com/metabase/metabase/commit/1bb88f5

Launch HN: Twenty.com (YC S23) – open-source CRM
We are unsure about the right license to use, so this is a great feedback. We had a MIT license one week ago that we know that we cannot hold on long term and we felt we were lying to the community by keeping an MIT license and changing it in one year.
By using AGPL, we feel it's the right level of restriction. It's the license used by Metabase for example (https://github.com/metabase/metabase) that many companies use internally.

Ask HN: Open-Source Self-Hosted No-Code Platforms?
The solution really depends on what sort of problems you are trying to solve and who your customers are.
There are a fair few low-code solutions out there for reporting and data visualisation that are great for finance and marketing teams for example. e.g. https://metabase.com/ , https://evidence.dev/
For multipurpose SMB workflows and organisational processes, I have used n8n in the recent past and found it was quite good and incredibly easy to maintain. https://n8n.io/engineering-resources/
For enterprise processes I'd go with Camunda (solely based on recommendations and not first hand experience). Although only parts of their platform are OSS https://github.com/camunda
Bear in mind that some of these are not suitable if you want to build something that competes with them while taking their OSS code. But are perfectly fine otherwise.

916 days of Emacs
Anyway, I have a collection of scripts that merge ActivityWatch data from all my machines and WakaTime exports to a PostgreSQL database which I then query with a project called Metabase. If you're curious, the scripts are in a repository called sqrt-data. I've been playing with this for ~4-5 years already I think.
