Hello-hello!
Itās been another busy year, and today letās look back on all the best bits from the Baserow Community this year! Iāll start by sharing some reflections, and I hope you can join me in the comments below.
Community bits that make us smileā¦
We are truly humbled by every single community member, partner, ambassador, subscriber, and follower that we have in the Baserow community. Weād like to thank each and every one of the 4,300 of you. Looking back, we know that our successes are the result of all of youāyour questions, your feedback, your contributions, your tipsāwe are so glad you got involved in every way with us.
A special thanks to some of this years top community contributors:
@frederikdc, you posted 142 replies, assisting over 100 community members with their issues. It is impressive to see our users helping others.
@marcus, you shared over 20 new feature ideas. Your efforts to improve Baserow motivate us to ship new features even faster.
@Peter, you reacted 174 times with āā. Community reactions are important to us as they help us understand that you enjoy what we share and show support to others.
@claudiobalbino, you visited the Baserow community forum for 230 days in a year. We appreciate your loyalty and hope that each visit provides you with some value.
@shrey, you shared the most upvoted feature idea this year: row grouping. We value our usersā feedback and we couldnāt let this year end without implementing this feature. (In case you missed the news, row grouping is now live).
@bastien, you started the most viewed topic: Baserow vs NocoDB. 7,400 people checked it out while deciding between Baserow and NocoDB (and we hope they made the right choice!).
@joseph_appsmith, you shared one of the most valuable workarounds on how to create charts for Baserow data. Meanwhile, @IndieSellersGuild also shared highly valuable tips on how to update records with a form using ZERO code. Plus, @WilliamPorterTechās tips on how to create attractive PDFs using Baserow data gained a lot of traction. Thank you all for sharing your experiences to help others. Thatās our favorite part of the community contributions.
Community accomplishments weāll remember from 2023ā¦
- Launched Baserowās first community contest, uncovering numerous great use cases of how our users utilize Baserow. We loved learning about all the amazing ways youāre using our platform.

- Released your #3 most-voted product features ā group by, UUID field type, and last modified by field type ā to help you better organize data & collaborate in Baserow.
- Attended the No-code Summit 2023, we had the opportunity to discuss, share, and connect with 2,500 no-coders, including some of you from the community.

Community feedback that inspire us to do betterā¦
Throughout the year, we conducted a few surveys to get your thoughts on your experience with the community and Baserow. Here are some important things we learned from you that we want to work on and make better in the next year:
More video guides. We couldnāt agree more, and together with two of our ambassadors, we have already started working on video tutorials that weāll soon start publishing on our YouTube channel.
More practical understanding of how to use certain features. Thatās also something we plan to address in 2024 by organizing webinars for newbies (the first one is scheduled for Jan 17th) and demos to show how to build advanced things with Baserow using specific features.
Hackathons and events for the community to collaborate and build something together. That was a challenge for me, but the first Baserow dev hackathon is also coming early in 2024.
A Baserowās 2023 year in review is here.
A heartfelt thank youā¦
Baserow has changed a lot during 2023, but there is one thing that will never change for usāthe value of our community. You all help make Baserow āmore than just a tool.ā Hereās to an exciting new year ahead. Together, letās continue to create amazing things with the power of Baserow.
