It used to be the Noted.lol posts, then when selfh.st showed up there was drama between the two and then noted kinda disappeared.
One of the few newsletters I read and actually engage with.
Such a gem.
Thanks to your post, I just found lubelog. Has anyone tried it out? I'm really not happy with my current choice for vehicle tracking.
Does this support bicycles? I've got an electric bike which would be cool to keep a record of
Just tried it out, I don't see a reason why it would not work. Sure, some things don't apply to bicycles (fuel, taxes), but things like repairs, maintenance and reminders could be nice for you.
I have not tried it out yet. But my current car tracker works fine with an electric bike.
Anyone used NocoDb recently? Last time I tried to get it running, it was too buggy to be useful
I've been using it for a while without any noticeable problems. What issues did you run into?
Out of curiosity, what do you use it for?
All kinds of stuff. I use it when I need a way to structure my data:
- I use it to keep track of software / libs that are of interest, what they are an alternative to. See example here: https://ibb.co/ncsdt0W
- I've also tried to recreate the functionality of a personal relational management (a la MonicaHQ, or per this post: https://medium.com/@rklau/my-homegrown-personal-crm-87dffbcf54d7) but found it to be an overengineered solution.
- I also used it to interact and store data through my python apps, to avoid dealing with it directly in python.
- You can also use it as a Kanban board
- Also, I've been trying to use it as an excel replacement - which is an overengineered solution but you get impeccable dataquality.
Nocodb is a bit wonky, but it is quite easy to work with (front- and backend) and since everything is in the database format you choose - you're in control of how you want your data.
Thanks, this is very helpful.
So, is it kind of a replacement for MS Access, except a non-relation db?
I don't remember exactly, it was around 2 years ago. It was easy to set up, but I found the feature set to be lacking some essentials, and I ran into a couple of big bugs. Couldn't really replace my airtable setup yet. Happy to give it another try though!
