Obvibase

Obvibase makes creating an online database as easy and fast as creating a spreadsheet.

Saturday, August 9, 2014

There are a few things we miss in spreadsheets when we are working with data that has a structure to it. If, for instance, you want something as simple as a column of checkboxes, the best you can do is have a column in which you type 'Y' or 'N'. Another example is hierarchical relationships - say you create a table of clients, and then for each client you need to record multiple contracts. These are really basic features that a ton of people can make use of, and with Obvibase we have tried to make them available without a burden of added complexity. Unlike other tools in this space, Obvibase doesn't position itself as an application builder, it is not grounded on relational database - instead it hopes to break down the barriers that keep database a niche product by saying "this is as simple as a spreadsheet, full stop". - Clean and simple design. - Checkboxes, multiple choice dropdowns, default values, tables nested in cells, and more. - Attach files to database records. Choose existing files in Google Drive or Dropbox, or upload files from your computer. - See changes made by other users in real time. - Sign in easily with your account on Google or Facebook.
