I have a similar project which is web-based:

My chord naming algorithm works somewhat like the one described here but is based on an intentionally more limited set of chords which I've carefully curated here:

I'm loving Plasma 6 so far. Wayland support is much better!

I had been using a keyboard shortcut to switch to the previously-used desktop. When KDE removed it [1], I filed a bug [2]. Hours later, a KDE dev created a new KWin script [3] to replace this functionality, fixing my workflow. THANKS! KDE is awesome!

Does this mean it will be fixed in Thunderbird too?

Good question. We've taken a somewhat unique approach of integrating tightly with PostgreSQL in order to leverage its strengths. In the short term, we plan to continue with this focus on PostgreSQL, but we are considering supporting other DBs in the long term. Thanks for your comment though! Knowing that you have an interest in using Mathesar with MySQL is a useful data point for us!

I'm an engineer on the Mathesar core team and I'd just like to clarify that Mathesar does support grouping to some extent. Here is a screenshot[1] that demonstrates the grouping functionality. Grouping levels are unlimited. You can play with this functionality on our live demo[2]. It's worth mentioning that Mathesar does not yet have the capability to expand and collapse groups, but that feature is planned[3].

Best of luck building Visual DB! Nice to see more innovation in this space!

[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] and [Mathesar] if you're considering self-hosting.

There are some other proprietary Airtable competitors like [Retable], [Retool], [Rows], [Lists], [SeaTable], and [Tables] that might be worth looking at too.
