Basedash - 2022 Wrapped

At Basedash, we want any individual within any company to more easily access the data they need. Fewer data silos. Fewer hours wasted on internal tools. More time shipping core product.

We’ve worked extremely hard over the past three years to make that happen, and 2022 was no exception.

Here’s what the Basedash team and community got up to over the last year.

2022 was a busy year for the Basedash team. We shipped dozens of changelog updates featuring over 1,000 new features, improvements and bug fixes - an average of nearly 3 per day.

Highlights include bulk view creation, a view relations beta, PlanetScale support, app templates and many, many other new features. Most notably, we had an epic Summer 2022 release that included apps and actions - our biggest ever update to Basedash.

The Basedash community had an even bigger year. 58,000 tables with 726,000 columns were connected to Basedash. That multitude of tables spans teams working in industries like B2C marketplaces, developer tools, SaaS and more.

Our community members also made over 300,000 edits to their databases from within the app. That’s an average of over 820 edits per day!

Most importantly, our Basedash users saved six and a half years (!) of time building and maintaining internal tools.

That means more time building your actual product (or, who knows, messing around with ChatGPT).

And finally, our engineering team documented a host of learnings and opinions gleaned over twelve months working with our community of developers and database administrators.

Here are some of the most popular posts that came out of those conversations:

• Max on why Product analytics tools are failing startups
• Robert on Why we had to move away from React Query
• Tom on How to recruit your own users as research participants
• Jeremy on How Basedash uses Basedash
• Dalyan on How we handle ownership in an early stage startup

Thanks again to our users, customers, friends, and everyone in the Basedash community who helped make this such a wonderful product to be working on last year. Wishing you all a wonderful start to 2023 ✌️
