because having money isn't the ultimate goal imho. it's what money enables - like a slow morning, a quiet mind, and good health. If money can't provide those or similar things, it loses its value more or less

I am surprised no one mentioned Carrot as a replacement! I have been using it for years. they don't have their own source of data, they are mostly a good UI, and you need to select a data source like Apple Weather or others.

At my company we only use UUIDs as PKs.

Main reason I use it is the German Tank problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_tank_problem

(tl;dr; prevent someone from counting how many records you have in that table)

We use https://www.lindy.ai/. I wonder why it's not on the map; I thought it was widely used.

maybe its about allowing you to create your own cloud, not using a third party vendor's software? its not a computer you hook up to a cloud, it is its own cloud? i only know about aws outpost tho, so I might be wrong

(Notion give me table grouping please!!)

New comment by reffaelwallen in "UX Issues with Notion"

reffaelwallen — Wed, 23 Dec 2020 22:50:19 +0000

I have been using Notion for 3-4 years now. There is nothing better IMO. It is slow at times, it has a lot of its power hidden behind the "/", and it's not very helpful of you need advanced governance (like locking multiple pages easily). But it is great in any other way, personally I am waiting for the API and table grouping features to make it really great, and I could stop using aitrable.
