Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A Real Story

Marina, a former marketer, decided in January 2026 to launch a service for local fitness studios: booking, client management, push notifications. Budget: $300, no dev team, zero coding experience.

Official website: webflow.com, bubble.io

By August: 40 paying studios, $3,200 MRR. The entire platform is built on Bubble. This is not an exception — it’s the norm for 2026.

Marketplace (buyers and sellers connect) → Bubble, Sharetribe
Mobile app (iOS/Android native feel) → Adalo, FlutterFlow, Glide

Baserow: Spreadsheets on Steroids

Baserow is a no-code platform for creating databases with an interface reminiscent of Airtable, but open-source and with self-hosting support.

What Makes Baserow Special

Unlike Airtable, you can install Baserow on your own server. This is critical for companies with data privacy requirements and for those who don’t want vendor lock-in.

What it can do:

Create tables with various field types: text, number, date, select, files, table relationships
Grid, Gallery, Kanban, and Form views
Filtering, sorting, and grouping data
REST API for programmatic access
Integrations via Zapier, n8n, Make
Role-based access control (admin, editor, viewer)

Self-Hosting

Baserow is distributed as a Docker image. The basic setup is a single container with PostgreSQL. A paid self-hosted license adds advanced features like SSO and audit logs.
