This is easily my favorite regular post here :D
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.
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:
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!
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.

I have not tried it out yet. But my current car tracker works fine with an electric bike.
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.
