Airtable mentions (129)

• Growing a side-project to 100k Unique Visitors in one week

  For the backend, I opted for Airtable as a database. It's a simple, no-code solution that I've used before. It's not the most powerful database, but it's perfect for a project like this. I could easily add, edit, and delete records, and it has an embeddable form functionality that I used for user submissions. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev

  Airtable.com — Looks like a spreadsheet, but it's a relational database unlimited bases, 1,200 rows/base, and 1,000 API requests/month. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• How to generate links to a record to view it in an Interface?

  The ?XXXXX part of the URL identifies the type of interface page it is. Just copy that and then your formula is just "https://airtable.com.../...?XXXXXX=" & RECORD_ID() I'm not sure it works in every type of interface page (where you've started from a blank page for example). There has to be something to identify the record viewed from the page, if you see what I mean. Source: 8 months ago

• Working on a personal app for data tracking. looking for suggestions

  So I started building something on airtable.com that would allow me to easily track updates for each batch. What in your experience would make sense to track that I may be missing? Source: 9 months ago

• Writers, could you give tips on how you plan a fic

• Jpeg to ECW

  Manifold v9 is much more reasonable and highly capable for dealing with merging image files and exportation to ecw. It is even better than that route in leaving it in the manifold project format. IYKYK. Manifold.net. Source: 11 months ago

• Low/no code web map builders?

  Low cost: Manifold. There's a new web/map server that's now part of the GIS for Universal and above editions, $195. If you have a Windows machine that has an externally visible IP (static IP on Internet, or visible IP in your internal network), just install the 31 MB download for Manifold, create the map you want in the usual desktop way, and then it can automatically serve that in a WYSIWYG way using a default...

• I found something even more useless than a "999999" error

  Only if you use lower quality software. Some software, including some GIS software, you can use every day, all day for 20 years and not expect to see a crash, not even once, no matter how complex the task. PostgreSQL is like that and for desktop GIS software, Manifold. Source: about 1 year ago

• Merging two different DEMs

  An easy way is to use Manifold. The Merge Images dialog which merges any stack of rasters will merge two different DEMS in a couple of clicks. The dialog's page has links to detailed examples and a video showing how to merge DEMs. Source: about 1 year ago

• Need to join raster and vector data

  Manifold Release 9 - it has a Join dialog that makes this trivial for almost any size data set. Takes a few clicks and less than a minute. Here's an illustrated, step-by-step example with an example video here. Source: about 1 year ago
