I was wondering who would go first, that is pretty sweet I really like the idea of having something that archives and sorts project messages so they can be filtered later.

description - Introducing “RideBid”, the revolutionary app-based cab company that allows both passengers and drivers to bid for a ride. With RideBid, passengers can easily post their desired destination, and drivers can place their bids for the ride. The passenger then has the ability to choose the best bid based on factors such as cost, driver ratings, and estimated time of arrival. This innovative approach to cab services ensures that both passengers and drivers are satisfied with the fare and the service, making for a more efficient and enjoyable experience.
("I’m sorry, I can’t make a product video for you because I’m terrible at making videos. In fact, if my videos were any worse, they’d be a crime against humanity. )

Tagline - Experience the RideBid difference, every ride

Tools used - Baserow as backend . bubble as front end, Google Maps API, payment gateways, Kodular

Hello
Name - Yash Kumar
Role - Student

I’m using the self hosted version of baserow on my VPS for my app (video sharing platform) built using kodular. Let’s talk about my use case!

One of my baserow table - Purchases

My app built from kodular creates a row here whenever someone makes an in-app purchase.

AUTOMATION

I’m using pipedream free version for automation. Whenever a row is created, it triggers the webhook and then the same details are stored in my Google sheet & also I get a notification on my phone through telegram bot.

See screenshots here -

The best thing about baserow is you can make hundreds of API request and that too even in the time-frame of milliseconds.

My app has thousands of users and working 24 X 7 because it’s a video sharing platform

The tools I’ve used are - kodular, pipedream, telegram and google sheets.

Thank you

Name: Nic Peerson
Role: Systems Administrator (I’m just the one who set up the database )

Description: The Missing & Murdered in BC project is a database of in-depth profiles for unsolved cases in the province of “British Columbia”. In our part of a world, there’s a lack of faith in our investigative authorities’ diligence, and many are simply forgotten. Baserow has helped our small team efficiently consolidate information from various sources (public records, private print archives, social media, current news coverage, etc) and build clearer pictures of the many victims, both as a resource to aid the large online ‘true crime’ community’s investigations, and so that they may be remembered.
Tools: Currently everything is handled in baserow. Once the majority of the records are populated, baserow will be used as a data backend for a public website and the records will also be procedurally conformed to various standards for publishing on true crime forums and wikis.

Hello @nicpeerson, thanks for sharing your Baserow story! You’re running a socially important project, and we are glad to know that Baserow helps you with that.

[olgatrykush]

Hey @bgschust, thanks for your submission. I really like the idea of your app

Do you use Baserow only to store data, or maybe you also use a form in Baserow to collect info from farmers like what they want to sell?

[bgschust]

Hi Olga, good question! I use Baserow for data storage and administration, but also the API has been enormously helpful, especially having multiple keys with different levels of access.

Cropify users can create and update their farm content through the interface connected to the Baserow API.
