Hey, founder of Basedash here. I launched the original version of Basedash on Hacker News almost 3 years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23999124). Back then, it was a simple web-based database editor. Y'all had LOADS of great feedback about security, validation, and permissioning.
Since then, I've grown the team to 7 and we've made a ton of improvements across those areas (RBAC, API actions, NL querying, self-hosting, SSO, etc.) and repositioned the product as a modern admin panel that connects to most SQL databases.
We recently raised a seed round from some incredible investors. We couldn't have gotten here without the support and feedback from this community, so thank you. Check out the product if you haven't already, and feel free to be harsh with your feedback. We're still at the beginning of our journey.
We (the team at Basedash) are running a survey on the state of databases in 2023. We'll be releasing the results after the survey closes in 1 month. We're also running a giveaway for an Apple Studio Display for all submissions.
Basedash founder here. We're much more focused on admin panels that you would give to non-technical teammates (e.g. support, ops, sales) to view & edit data. Less around data analysis and charts, though we have a bit of that. We're also not limited to databases, you can set up actions to hit APIs (e.g. Stripe, SendGrid, internal APIs).
I'm a founder of BaseDash, I started building it as a spiritual successor to Django Admin. Big focus on UX and usability for non-technical users. I like to think of it as "Airtable for your SQL database".
Some features that are especially important if you're giving access to non-technical team members:
- Edit history of all changes made through the tool
- Permission system to limit access to certain databases/tables
- Views that let you pre-filter tables and hide columns
- Request edit system so that all edits have to be approved (WIP)
We support both MySQL and PostgreSQL, planning to add support for NoSQL databases in the future.
