Hey HN! I'm excited to share Basemulti, a no-code platform I've been working on.

Basemulti allows you to:

- Create Airtable-like interfaces for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or MariaDB - Generate instant APIs for your data - Build a headless CMS on top of your existing databases

Key features:

- No-code solution - Support for various cell types (text, number, date, image, etc.) - Relational data management - Virtual formatting (doesn't affect source data) - Granular permissions - One-click deployment on Vercel

Basemulti aims to bridge the gap between complex database management and user-friendly interfaces. It's perfect for rapid prototyping, content management, or adding a visual layer to your existing data.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. The project is open-source, and contributions are welcome!

Looking forward to your comments and suggestions!

Why is this different from tools like

Thanks for your question! Basemulti differentiates itself in several key ways:

1. Lightweight and Easy Deployment: Basemulti doesn't require Docker and can be deployed to Vercel with a single click, making it incredibly easy to get started.

2. Flexible Field Types: We support a wide range of field types including email, single/multi-select, and relational fields, offering more flexibility in data structuring.

3. Universal Database Compatibility: Basemulti works with any MySQL, SQLite, or PostgreSQL database, whether new or existing.

4. Non-Invasive Integration: When connecting to an existing database, Basemulti creates a virtual layer for all configurations. This means you can add Airtable-like interfaces and APIs without altering your original database schema or affecting existing operations.

These features make Basemulti particularly suitable for teams looking to quickly build on top of their existing data infrastructure without the overhead of traditional no-code platforms.

it seems like nocodb can do these things, is there anything special about basemulti?

Yes, when you use nocodb to modify the display title or field display mode, your source database will also change. The biggest difference between basemulti and nocodb is that you can modify the display mode of your database without worrying about affecting the source.
