The Shaving Data System has been updated to v1.0.2. Even more brands to pick from (if you have a brand that's not included please submit an issue on GitLab or PM me).

I also added functionality to track razor uses similar to blade uses. This will let you keep track of how many shaves since honing, etc. It displays in parentheses just like a blade count, like "Koraat Moarteen (15)".

I have a similar tracker in Airtable that I started a few years ago, but I outgrew their free plan a while ago (4000+ rows). I've been looking at SeaTable, NocoDB, and Baserow to migrate my data to recently, but keep running into various limitations. I like what you are doing here with the self-hosted option.

Oh cool. I just ran across Baserow and ran with it. I did at Airtable and saw it had limitations on rows. It seems like Airtable is probably more capable/polished/has fewer bugs, but Baserow seems to work great and it's open source, etc. Self hosting still locks down a lot of features without a subscription, but row limits isn't a problem.

Maybe I'll peak at the other ones you mentioned.

Would you mind if I played around with importing some of the data from Airtable into your Baserow instance? I'm not sure if the instance has any hard constraints, so I don't want to just port the whole thing over.

If so, feel free to use any of that data that is pertinent for the SDS.

[โ€“] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 2 months ago

Sure, feel free! What type of data are you referring to?

There aren't many constraints on self-hosted Baserow... No row limits, etc. Just a bunch of other paywalled stuff.

The SSD in my server is pretty large so I don't imagine any baserow databases making a dent.
