Baserow.io – Self-hosted Airtable alternative • Hacker News Board

Though they’re already laying the groundwork for “premium” features like admin tools, role based permissions, kanban and calendar views which would be paid subscriptions for self-hosted options too.

I always worry that essential features for tools like these will get bumped into one of those paid tiers.

Gorgeous landing page. Is it a template or did you handroll that? Kudos either way.

“Eerly premium” should be “Early premium” on the front page.

Or “eerily premium”

The benefit of having the self hosted always free option is your data isn’t locked into the service.

Price is important, but data sovereignty more so imho. If a vendor is no longer meeting your needs, or the deal becomes less fair (you know the whole “raising prices once your business relies on them”), you can export and bounce.

In their defense, their upcoming 'premium' features are clearly labelled on the Feature Roadmap. I really like that.

Great job OP!

Good. We really need more self-hosted open source alternatives like Baserow.
