Differences between base and app?

Base

  • Designed for working directly with your data.
  • Allows editing and creating database structures.
  • Everyone with access to a base has at least read-only access to all data.
  • Primarily serves as the workspace for owners and collaborators.

App

  • Provides a custom interface tailored to specific data from your base.
  • Enables fine-grained permissions for controlling access to data.
  • Displays only a subset of data relevant to the app's purpose.
  • Can be shared externally without requiring user accounts, making it suitable for customers or business partners.

Mgmt Summary: SeaTable, the world's leading self-hosted, collaborative no-code platform, has significantly evolved over the past year with major enhancements to its App Builder, introduction of new plugins, and improved data management capabilities. Key achievements include a successful security audit, launch of a new website, and acquisition of notable public sector clients. The platform continues to bridge the gap between structured and unstructured data management, offering versatile solutions for businesses and organizations. Looking ahead, SeaTable is set to integrate AI features, expand its plugin ecosystem, and obtain BSI certification, further solidifying its position as an innovative force in collaborative workflow solutions.

Speaker Notes SeaTable is like Lego, consisting of standard components that can be combined in multiple ways to create customized solutions. No programming skills are needed, making it accessible to everyone, from citizen developers to business teams. This no-code approach allows users to design databases, workflows, and apps tailored to their specific needs, all while supporting real-time collaboration and robust security features. By empowering users to build and manage their own digital processes, SeaTable streamlines IT transformation and digitalization efforts, enhancing efficiency and innovation across organizations.

This is the base editor. The visual interface to your data and also the editor for the structure of your databases.

These are the statistics

This is the app builder. This one is important. Let me explain you the different purposes of the app and the base.

Speaker Notes In a nutshell: - last year on CS3, we had version 4.3. - now we are on 5.2 This means one new major version, three new minor versions (4.4 -> 5.2)

We have completed our work on the openapi documentation for SeaTable. But this is not only about documentation, it is a playground for the users to test the api and in addition, we use this openapi documentation to generate our various clients. We just generate our php api client from this documentation.

the demand for a no-code database is huge, therefore it is not surprising, that we could aquire new customers in the public sector. Here are only the biggest and well known ones.

speaker notes Ladies and Gentlemen, I invite you to envision the future of collaborative work with SeaTable. We've made significant strides in the past year, from enhancing our App Builder to introducing powerful new plugins. But this is just the beginning. With upcoming AI integration, advanced app features, and continuous improvements, SeaTable is poised to revolutionize how organizations manage and utilize their data. I challenge you to explore how SeaTable can transform your workflows and drive innovation in your projects. Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to seeing the amazing things you'll create with SeaTable. Thank you very much.
