If you are facing an issue with an oss product - submit an issue in the repo and get it sorted pls


Given the response rate to Github issues, I'm not hopeful. I'm seeing what look like valid bug reports from weeks ago with no acknowledgement.


Love everything about CH. However, we were at wits end syncing things to it from postgres. Airbyte was a let down with no normalisation (they had it but removed it). Meltano was seamless but with no ui. However, we have had issues with it as well. Peerdb is a welcome addition - will give it a go soon.


Adding to above, CH should take ownership of CH airbyte connector. There are so so many users waiting for it. Have a look at that issue/discussion in airbyte github repo.


Great feedback, thanks for chiming in rnavi. We will add this (contributing to AirByte) as a potential item in our roadmap.


Excellent point.


Make real tdraw is just amazing. Love it.


Thank you for taking time out of your holiday and writing this.

2) If you create the tables from noco interface you get those fields else not as these fields are abstracted fields on top of your DB fields. 3) not sure what you mean here - noco is known for abstracting these IDs away and are hidden as system fields (see field menu). The role of lookup etc is what you need.

1 & 4 are feature requests pending on us.


Congrats to visualdb on launch.

If you are looking for free open source version try

https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb

It's fairly simple to setup. Please refer to our readme/docs

Thanks this seems very useful. Bookmarked.

We are building a couple of small internal applications using React and deployed on AWS.

For enabling users with UI for managing the master data tables we want to use a ready to use component - i guess somewhat like nocodb.

Could you by any chance point to some examples of how one might integrate this solution into another app within its branding and navigation.

If there ate other similar tools that might also allow power users to define the schema of new tables and constraints / pk-fk references on them etc using a similar web UI -- that would be great too.

Thanks


Looks awesome! Well done, this might come in handy for folks where I was just hired. Definitely going to keep this in mind.


Nocodb is indeed a worthy competitor! If you're interested in how Visual DB is differentiated from Airtable-like products see here: https://visualdb.com/spreadsheet/#airtable


Nice, but the AGPL-3.0 license makes this tough to use. Would love to see a MIT alternative if there is one.


I second this, NocoDB is great!


Was about to mention this.

Its remarkable how kids (4 yo) relate to some facts in these books (like discoveries, slogans, values) and then recall the page/book when they hear a word two in totally unrelated conversations.


Amidst the frequent noise - its hard to notice that even the most stringent of OSS licenses like AGPL was written way back in 2002! Cloud was not even in the picture. Since then, ever growing cloud players have been playing the 'state' role and misusing OSS as 'religion' heavily affecting infra OSS products or companies.


Long ago, I was a system developer. Now I think of it - I feel the whole development / logs / debugging / deploying was all abysmally slow. To even load software via JTAG took about 5 minutes! So there is big room to improve things in this space.

Do you have clients using this now ? how are you thinking to land inside semiconductor-ish corporates ?


Yes rnavi,I have the same experience as well.The complete system software development can be expedited using AI.Yes, we are doing private beta with a Japanese semiconductor conglomerate.We go with a philoshopy like your data, your model and your cloud.We create instruction dataset from their tech spec and code.Everything on-prem.We have partnered with AMD and Nvidia for on-prem GPU deployment.We help them selecting the right small language coding model and deploying it with securely.


.. and how does it fare with devin/cognition etc - have not tried them just youtube videos.


Devin and Cognition are great as co-workers for application software. They're proficient in JavaScript and Python and excel at solving logical problems in software. However, they aren't trained in or familiar with system software, which typically runs on physical devices and requires verification against technical specifications for programming.


On landing page - sample webhook responses would help.


ty for the feedback! yeah, it’s more of a quick api doc right now. i’ll make a better version asap
