• 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: over 1 year 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 / almost 2 years 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 2 years ago

• Does anyone use a visual SQL query builder?

  You can try using this tool: https://rows.com. Source: about 2 years 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: about 2 years ago

  Beautiful work! Very intuitive, thanks for sharing! I was looking for a no nonsense planning tool. Will use it for planning the v3 release of DataGridXL, coming soon! (https://datagridxl.com). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Show HN: We Built the Fastest Spreadsheet

  Congrats on releasing the product! What are you using instead of the native scroll event of a browser element? Are you listener to `onwheel` events? Have you find a way to keep scrolling momentun scroll-browser/cross-device or do you normalize the delta to +1/-1? I am the creator of DataGridXL (https://datagridxl.com), an Excel-like data grid component and it uses native scrolling. However, the document/sheet... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Quality is a hard sell in big tech

  I have the same experience with my product DataGridXL (https://datagridxl.com). I spent a lot of time minimizing bugs and I choose deliberately to have less features and focus ond speed aan reliability. But website visitors only see that a competing product has 2x the features (at great cost). I have a customer with 10 million end users, in one year they have reported only 2 bugs, both bugs fixed within a day.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Please Make Your Table Headings Sticky

  Instead of sticky headers, I would suggest using a limited viewport height, so that the headers always remain visible. Like in DataGridXL (https://datagridxl.com) disclaimer: I am the creator. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Show HN: Edit CSV Online

  Edit CSV Online is a free tool that provides an Excel-like interface to quickly edit CSV files. I made it to promoto the Excel-like data editor DataGridXL.com (https://datagridxl.com). Should I attempt to monetize this or keep using it a promo for the component? - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
