• Home-Cooked Software and Barefoot Developers

  The first two points are foundational design principles for Decker[1], a programming environment which can be used as a local application or as a single-file self-contained web page which still retains all the development tools. The same is true for TiddlyWiki[2]. The web ecosystem already provides the substrate necessary to realize these visions, it's a matter of building things with a particular perspective in... - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• Daylight: A 60fps e-ink tablet

  A pen-tablet with a transflective display and a commodity OS is very compelling. I've been working for a few years on a "multimedia sketchpad"[0] application with a primarily grayscale UI that screams for a device like this. I imagine the browser port might already work acceptably, but perhaps I'll revisit a native Android port with the Daylight in mind...

• A Love Letter to Tinkerable Software

  As a young child with only the scarcest grasp of programming, I spent endless hours using ResEdit to crack open and customize every application on my mac. Every game and utility was filled with its own surprises; graphics I could edit, tables of strings to pore over, dialogs to rearrange, menus to customize, and so much more. I never had a manual, but everything was so straightforward and clear I learned... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Show HN: Lua Carousel, create little programs on desktop or mobile devices

  If you want something like Shoes, perhaps try PySimpleGUI or Redlang's "view" dialect. If you want a drag-and-drop visual builder like HyperCard, you might like Decker: https://beyondloom.com/decker/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• I published a 15-year list of product management articles that covers much of my career to date. Saved first in bookmarks, then in Wordpress, then in Airtable, now in Baserow.

  Alternatives were Rows and Airtable. Rows tends to be better at calculation, while Airtable tends to be better at storing and sorting data as a database. I was not aware of the open-source alternative called Baserow at the time. I did not choose any office suite like Google Docs or Microsoft 365 because they seemed… too old-fashioned, I guess, while I wanted glitter. ✨. Source: 7 months ago

• Ask HN: What are Airtable alternatives with higher rate limits?

  [Baserow], [APITable], [Grist], and [Rowy] are all open source Airtable alternatives which offer hosted SaaS versions that include API access, though it's a bit difficult to compare the API rate limits across all these products. Self-hosting an app like this would allow you to bypass API rate limits altogether, if you're open to it. All the above products can be self-hosted — and you might want to look at [NocoDB]... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• What do you use for reporting?

  I have found rows.com recently, and im looking for a software to semi-automate my ppc reports (mostly facebook ads, but rarely google as well). Source: about 1 year ago

• Does anyone use a visual SQL query builder?

  You can try using this tool: https://rows.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• Which tool is easiest for building API calls?

  I work at Rows. It’s a spreadsheet with native UI to import data from many services ( Google Analytics, Ads platforms, BigQuery,…) plus you can make your own custom api calls directly from the grid. We also have zapier and make connectors, if you need to setup something more articulated. Source: over 1 year ago
