We are starting a new tradition — Monday check-ins — to get to know more about our folks. After all, Baserow is all about creative people who are using database power to automate different kinds of things, and we are curious to learn about you and your superpowers.
Bi-monthly, on Mondays, we’re going to post a question of the week in this thread. Feel free to engage with us and share your thoughts.
Tell us: What is a professional skill you’re extremely good at?
I am proud to have become skillful at market observation: I constantly study and analyze the results of the work of others: content, visual trends, and campaigns. I look for inspiration everywhere and I like transferring ideas from one product to another, even if they come from completely different categories. As a result, it’s super easy for me to generate ideas quickly
Hey, I am new to Baserow and I really like the efforts of all the people who have made Baserow and constantly improving it.
Just to add my input to the topic, I am Pratik, from Mumbai, India, am lawyer and compliance consultant, helping Indian companies to comply with Corporate laws.
My keen interest in technologies has stuck myself using many such tools like zapier, airtable, softr, Make etc. I found Baserow very recently and I am really glad I found it.
Rightnow, I am using Airtable for my business and I am trying to explore if I can completely replace it by Basebow.
Sorry to ask a question here, Does Baserow has support of Automation and Apps (like Airtable has)?
Lastly, Thank you Baserow community for such a wonderful tool! I hope to learn from you all.
Hello @pratik! First of all, welcome to the Baserow community
We’re happy to e-meet you, thanks for the intro — that’s always super interesting to learn about whom we have on board. And as you’re an experienced builder, we’ll be glad to hear your feedback on Baserow after you test it out!
What exactly are you willing to achieve using automation? We don’t have a dedicated feature like Airtable Automations, but Baserow is API-friendly, we have webhooks and an integration with Zapier — which means that you can automate a lot using Baserow, but in some cases, you may need the help of third-party services. If you have a specific scenario in mind, feel free to share it here in the community, so we can brainstorm together if and/or how that process can be automated
Happy to join the community, I’m good at doing bad jokes. More seriously, I work as a data analyst, and I can now be quite sure by saying I’m close to be a SQL-master in searching and parsing data among unreadable ones .
Hello @dynnammo Welcome to the Baserow community, we’re glad to have an SQL master among us! Besides building databases, we plan to have fun here, so your primary skill of making jokes is also highly valued
