I'm honestly really excited by this. Airtable transformed my spreadsheet experience, and I've long wished for something I can self host locally to be able to store more sensitive data (like bank statements).
- shafyy 6y agoAnother open-source alternative to Airtable is Baserow. Looks like it's a bit more basic than Firetable, but they have a good road map posted on their website.
- eitland 6y agoOpened sourced in July it seems: https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow (alternativeto had a comment from June saying it was closed source.)

I'm not saying security can't be good[0], but it seems it can't be hosted locally. [0]: In fact I guess in the long run the security of Firestore will be better than anything most of us can do at home.
