I want an open source competitor to airtable. I use airtable very minimally, but what I do is on my phone, and makes use of barcode reading via the camera. I don't think any of the open alternatives support mobile, and I'm fairly certain none of them handle barcode reading (yet?). So far I think I'm stuck with airtable.

Budibase will have barcode / qr scanning functionality at the end of the month. It'll also have: single docker image deployment, new UI update, automation logs, user groups, snowflake integration and more. https://github.com/Budibase/budibase

Thanks. I'll have to keep an eye on that.

Not what I could call 'open source'. Basic features (e.g. 'XML and JSON export') require a subscription to the 'premium' or 'enterprise' plans, even when self-hosting.

Have a looksie at BudiBase[0], another open source low-code platform. I believe SSO is still functional in the open source version, but roles do not exist. [0] https://budibase.com/

For reference, here is the github link for Budibase: https://github.com/Budibase/budibase

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Founder of Baserow here. Exporting to XML and JSON are the first features that we're going to move into the free plan of Baserow as soon as we have new premium features to replace them with.

Quoted post unavailable.

It's not okay to pretend your product is open while it's not.
