Rowy: Open-source Airtable alternative on Google Cloud

• rowy

  20 5,659 8.5 TypeScript

  Low-code backend platform. Manage database on spreadsheet-like UI and build cloud functions workflows in JS/TS, all in your browser.

  

What scale have you tested the UI at? Do you have any demo / benchmarks for over 1M rows?

Reading through the infinite scrolling PR [1] it looks like scrolling isn’t virtualized (like Airtable’s) so the browser will start choking when it has too many elements in the DOM.

• React Data Grid

  13 6,665 8.8 TypeScript

  Feature-rich and customizable data grid React component

  

no, i missed that one when i was searching, but from the homepage and a quick glance through the docs it doesn't seem like it does what i need. what i want is something like react-data-grid [https://github.com/adazzle/react-data-grid] but with a backend component that handles collaborative updates. essentially a stripped down and actively maintained alternative to ethercalc [https://ethercalc.net/]

baserow had a lot of what i wanted, but the top-level feature set seemed very oriented towards a db admin tool rather than a programmatically managed user interface to single tables or views.

  🔥 🔥 🔥 Open Source Airtable Alternative

  

Thanks for the shoutout (NocoDB founder here). Rowy demo looks good. Would love to try it.

NocoDB[1] works differently than rowy, we transform existing MySQL/Postgres/SQLite into Airtable like spreadsheet.

• Hasura

• Killed by Google

  2,301 2,340 6.9 TypeScript

  Part guillotine, part graveyard for Google's doomed apps, services, and hardware.

Given that Google will cancel it in a couple of years[0], it's not worth investing time and effort to build on Google's products.
