• 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.

• The best tool to store and visualize data for a small not-for-profit

• How to have a free relational database?

  Check out Grist: getgrist.com. (Disclaimer: my project.) It's hosted, there is a free plan (limited in number of docs, but each doc is a complete database). Very visual and spreadsheet-like in creating tables, linking them, arranging pages with data. Source: over 2 years ago

• Most desk jobs require you to use a spreadsheet, so I created a site to help people learn Excel and Google Sheets spreadsheet skills. I hand-selected the top 500 resources I could find and made them easy to search and filter.

  These days there are spreadsheet-database products like https://getgrist.com which really are a database with all the advantages of a proper structure that DBs give you, but don't require a DBA/DEV team to set up and use. (*disclaimer, I am involved in building Grist, and I also use it for everything I previously turned to spreadsheets for.). Source: over 2 years ago

• Question/Advice for setting up my tables/databases

  I suggest checking out Grist (https://getgrist.com). It's more of a database, with full-featured formulas, and very flexible in connecting and laying out the data. Source: over 2 years ago
