- I use it to keep track of software / libs that are of interest, what they are an alternative to. See example here: ibb.co/ncsdt0W
- I’ve also tried to recreate the functionality of a personal relational management (a la MonicaHQ, or per this post: medium.com/…/my-homegrown-personal-crm-87dffbcf54…) 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?
