Hi, I am one of the creators of Rowy. With Rowy, we aim to bring to you an Airtable-like experience to manage your database with granular access controls at table and column levels to collaborate with your teammates, but that's just the start and it can do so much more than that. With Rowy you can build your MVP and continue to scale on the GCP/Firebase stack, write cloud functions effortlessly right in your browser. You can also connect to your favourite third party tools via our ready-made flexible extensions or build your own. Use any NPM packages or APIs. Love for your to give it a spin and share your feedback.

Some questions: - How many rows you can render in one session ? - Can too many writes lead to DB throttling ? - The frontend seems snappy. How will response time behave as more rows are added ? What will happen with 10 collaborators on a 1million x 20 table.

  I assume the table only renders what is visible, doesn't render everything.

  - We only fetch the rows of data as you keep scrolling and render only what you see on screen. - Since we are built on Firestore database, it is the same DB throttling as what Firestore provides which is 10MB IOPS - Since we only render what you see on the screen, the UI is very responsive and so can continue can scale.

hi. i didn't check the documents that deeply but can you just quickly tell me if its possible to install on your own vps as opposed to what is being advertised, "GCP" isnt for everyone, maybe on a vm hosted locally or something else.

What's the business model? I'm confused by the random "alerts" project that's grouped into the same company.

  We are trying to build a product that solves for all the pointpoints when you are building on the cloud starting with GCP. And being able to be on top of your cloud expense is a #1 problem we have seen lot of people in the Firebase community complain about and so we want to solve for it as well. Currently, we are fully open-source and plan to introduce additional PRO features/parallel products in the future.

Hi, Rowy seems like an interesting product! I'll definitely try it out. Is it related to firetable (https://firetable.io/ https://firetable.io/) by any chance? I see similarities in the interface and both can connect to firestore.

  Apparently they rebranded Firetable to Rowy: https://twitter.com/RowyIO/status/1445296608174690306 https://twitter.com/RowyIO/status/1445296608174690306

Any plans to have a fully self hosted version based on Mongodb / Postgres / Whatever? :) What you made looks super cool, but I don't want to host anything on GCP / Firebase
