It looks nice but what I really miss is a metabase like app with a few edit options. Anything out there? This would replace so many internal crud apps

For desktops Libreoffice Base is nice.

For web hosting, I would push PHP. Each page is it's own end point!

I don’t mind it being a desktop app but I don’t want users specifying database connection info and having a raw database view. Metabase has admins setup the database connection and then users go through the regular email/password access. You can create all sorts of custom data views (not sql views).. hah, this sounds like an ad. So, a simple email/password protected login possibly with 2fa and then allowing operators to edit results of predefined custom views is what I’m missing. Typically this is reimplemented everywhere

I've used it on MacOS and it was great, really nice interface. Too bad there isn't a Linux option.

100% troll comment but what other OS will allow for a modern, native and friendly GUI? :D

what do you mean with 'edit options'?

We have a tool similar to metabase - this is seektable.com - which also can be used for as 'database viewer' where end-user can define custom HTML formatting for each value in the table; there are no values editing yet so it is interesting to hear maybe we can add something to make this possible.
