This looks more featured than Seatable I was looking into. A few questions on features and plans:

1. Are all the views mobile friendly,

2. Any plan for a map view,

3. Multiple views in a page? (aka dashboard)

4. How does AGPL affect getting payed to create a solution based on this? I'm not talking about offering it as a service as is as happens with elastic, redis and the cloud providers.

5. How do we create plugins?



Thank you. Have created the issues as below.

1. #158

2. #159

3. #160

4. AGPL doesn't stop you getting payed for creating your own solution based out of this. The preferred way to run it is as docker. And if there are changes in NocoDB code, it needs to be shared back with community. Otherwise, it is absolutely fine to use it.

5. Plugin/apps is at the heart of NocoDB. Whilst backend part of plugin is modularised, frontend has to be done. And we are using NuxtJs which happened to be an excellent choice for this. The documentation will follow soon.


FYI, if anyone plans to build a solution with this that they may at some point want to deploy into Google Cloud Marketplace, you won't be able to.

GCP Marketplace does not allow anything to be deployed that is under AGPL.


If a product is not making a minimum few million dollars - GCP market place doesnt allow you to be listed anyways I think :)


I don't think anything would stop you dual licensing your own software if you needed to.


Looks like the license doesn't allow you to do that

"This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it." https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html


It doesn't allow any user to publish it under another licence but the copyright owner is eligible to do so.


I assumed the comment was addressing people who wanted to use NocoDB to build something, not the people creating it.
