In older versions of Windows if you dragged the scroll thumb then moved the mouse far away from the scrollbar it would cancel the scroll, resetting the scrollbar to its original state. In the current version it is inconsistent. Notepad no longer supports this but browsers do.

We prioritize features based on user input, especially now that core features are in place. But the idea for the initial set of features were based on our own needs, and our frustration with existing products.

For example, there are lots of reporting tools, but we could not find even one that has good time series analysis. If you want to analyze your personal stock market investments, good time series analysis is essential, so we filled the gap in the market with our own product.

Regarding permissions, I think we meet your requirements. End users do not have permission to tables directly, they can only enter data through forms and sheets.

Regarding "created by", do you mean a field that is automatically set, based on who created the record? That's on our todo list.

Regarding relational data, we meet your requirements. Any time there is a foreign key, we display a "..." button which shows up with records from the foreign table you can select the row you want. This is fairly sophisticated... you can display all records from the foreign table (default), our you can have a query, and you can even have cascading dropdowns (for example you select Region in the first dropdown, then it shows Cities in that region in the next dropdown and so on), then matching rows are shown.

Regarding user management we store users and permissions separately from databases, and the permissions you applies to all databases in the application. Permissions are set at the application level and you can create a different application (with connections to same databases if needed) if you want different permissions.

Nocodb is indeed a worthy competitor! If you're interested in how Visual DB is differentiated from Airtable-like products see here: https://visualdb.com/spreadsheet/#airtable

Thanks for raising those points. To maximize security we are prioritizing on-prem version.

We have a section here on comparison to Airtable: https://visualdb.com/spreadsheet/#airtable These points should apply to other tools similar to Airtable.

Thanks for the feedback. Self-hosted version is now a high priority for us since many people have given us this feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll make self-hosted version a high priority.

Not a rebrand but a pivot. It is a major overhaul with significant new features such as reporting.

Thanks for the feedback. Triplechecker seems like a cool tool, BTW!

Retool is a great product especially if you are a developer. Visual DB is intended for people who can't or won't code.

Thanks for the feedback. We have a section on data security here: https://visualdb.com/datasecurity/ We are also planning to release a self-hosted version soon, which can be used with intranet databases - this should take care of security concerns.
