Habr<p>[Перевод] Перевод: подробный обзор опенсорсной платформы BaseRow и ее сравнение с Airtable</p><p>Недавно, подбирая новые темы для блога, я наткнулся на видеообзор сервиса BaseRow от блогера Dan Leeman. Ролик показался мне подробным и содержательным, поэтому я решил не изобретать велосипед и просто перевести его. Я постарался не отходить далеко от оригинала, но и не делать дословную кальку. Надеюсь, вам будет интересно прочитать материал и узнать что-то новое. Приятного чтения! Надеюсь, вам понравится наш новый формат.</p><p><a href="https://habr.com/ru/companies/pqhosting/articles/912176/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">habr.com/ru/companies/pqhostin</span><span class="invisible">g/articles/912176/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/airtable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>airtable</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/baserow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>baserow</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%B7%D1%8B_%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8B%D1%85" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>базы_данных</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D1%81%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%8B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>сервисы</span></a></p>

Martin Holland<p>Für die Tabelle nehme ich noch Tipps entgegen. Ich baue das ja in <a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/GoogleSheets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoogleSheets</span></a>, aber ich bekomme das nicht in <a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/Airtable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Airtable</span></a> oder <a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/Grist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Grist</span></a>. </p><p>Versuche jetzt noch, was mit <a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/DataTables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataTables</span></a> zu bauen, aber wahrscheinlich scheitere ich. Am besten ein Tool, das <a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/GoogleDocs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoogleDocs</span></a> einlesen und synchronisieren kann, aber hübscher aussieht. Sollte filtern und sortieren können, Gruppieren wäre auch noch cool.</p>
Martin Holland<p>And with regard to the spreadsheet: I have now tried presenting my data (from Google Sheets) in <a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/Airtable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Airtable</span></a> or <a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/Grist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Grist</span></a> (because both look pretty), but both don't sync with the sourca data.<br>Next I tried connecting <a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/Sheets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sheets</span></a> to <a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/DataTables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataTables</span></a> (because that's open and also pretty), but that doesn't work either. <br>Now I'm trying to visualize my raw data with <a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/DataTables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataTables</span></a>, but that's still difficult. I need a no-code solution and really, <a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> is so useful, although many here don't like to hear it.</p>

Their web app lack the very notion of responding to screen size, as if it was designed specifically for large screens. Oh, but they have a native app for iOS. It does start and lets one sign in. But choosing any template to quick-start the building of your own stuff, randomly crashes the app. Over and over again. <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/usability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>usability</span></a></p>

Joel Pomales<p>After the dissapointment that was Greg Cox's latest <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrek</span></a> novel, I'm looking to go a bit back to novels with less fan service and away from, and this is not a knock on them, David Mack and Una McCormack. They're great, but I feel I've only read them a lot in the past couple of years.</p><p>I know there was a list out there, on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Airtable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Airtable</span></a> of Trek novels by series.

Habr<p>Excel — самый опасный софт на планете</p><p>В 80-е годы компании покупали компьютеры, чтобы запустить электронные таблицы. Автоматический расчёт налогов и зарплат казался чудом. Тысячи бухгалтеров оказались на улице, остальным пришлось осваивать работу ПК, а конкретно — Excel. И до сих пор Excel играет важнейшую роль в бизнесе многих компаний. Без электронных таблиц у них просто всё развалится. Сложно найти на компьютере другую программу настолько древнюю и настолько важную, от которой столько всего зависит. И в такой ситуации факапы неизбежны.</p><p><a href="https://habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/articles/835390/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/ar</span><span class="invisible">ticles/835390/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/Excel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Excel</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/Grist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Grist</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/Airtable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Airtable</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/Google_Sheets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google_Sheets</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D1%8D%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%86%D1%8B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>электронные_таблицы</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/SQLite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SQLite</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%84%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>автоформатирование</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/VBA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VBA</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/ERP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ERP</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/Ultorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ultorg</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/Adaptive_Insights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Adaptive_Insights</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/EPM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EPM</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/Anaplan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anaplan</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/Workiva" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Workiva</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/ruvds_%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C%D0%B8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ruvds_статьи</span></a></p>
