Hello Everyone, I am Bram Wiepjes, the founder of Baserow. At the beginning of the week I publicly released the source code of Baserow under the MIT license. Feel free to checkout the repository at https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow. If you just want to try it out you can create an account on https://baserow.io. The software is still a very early state so a lot of features are still missing.

There are a few things that make Baserow unique:

- Unlimited rows.

- Open source, released under the MIT license.

- Uses popular frameworks like Django and Nuxt.js

- Uses PostgreSQL as database backend.

- It can be self hosted.

- You can have many rows per table. 100k+.

- Headless and API first.

- Supports pluginS.

- Includes a plugin boilerplate to start right away.

The following features are going to be added soon:

- A field that links to a table row.

- Exposing your table data publicly via a REST API.

- Real time changes of others.

- Undo and redo functionality.

It takes time to write code that has high test coverage, is modular, has good documentation and offers a great user experience. At the moment I have to do part time freelance development work in order to cover living expenses. By becoming a GitHub sponsor I can work more on Baserow which will speed up the development of new features and will help me pay the bills. It would mean a lot! Please check out the GitHub sponsor page at https://github.com/sponsors/bram2w. You can also help by contributing to the codebase.

If you have any questions or want to contribute, feel free to send me a message at https://baserow.io/contact.
