Hello👋 Baserow community members,
I am super duper excited to share with you what I am building using Baserow😄 as backend.
This project is solely being done by me and it’s big taking a lot more time than expected.😑
The front end is built on bubble along with other tools like Google maps API, payment gateways, Sms and other API’s
Currently it’s about 60% complete.😌
It’s an cab aggregator app but has some extra features like realtime biddings😁
The app has two aspects driver and passenger
Both needed to be created interchangeably.
I choose Baserow because of his capabilities, reliability and affordability😎
Connection is 💯% API
Realtime CURD with expected thousands of operations per hour.
Will share future updates here.🙂🙃SOON
I am not providing the link now because the project requires sms OTP to enter which can only be sent to registered numbers.😶

Maybe you could share some screenshots of what you are making. It looks very interesting how you connected all those different products together.

I know the user interface is not looking good now but I am working on it

Nice work. I am not a fan of the black color but that will have a design reason. I see it is all connected through an mobile app. May I ask what platform you are using to make that. I used App Inventor and Kodular to connect to the Baserow database.

Yes kodular 😀 because I find it easier to build the app

I also want to store each users profile pic in the baserow db, in a new table called picture which has two rows one the user id and second the picture.
But I am confused how to upload the picture to db via API…

Maybe you could open a new topic for that question.
You could always save it as a Base64 string and convert it into an image in your app.
