We've added custom right-click context menus to the app which let you quickly take actions on certain items. To start, they're available on the Views page (to edit, favorite, and delete), and in the headers of tables (to set the primary attribute, and apply a sort). This also freed up left-click on table headers, which we're now using to quickly apply a sort on a column.
We plan to use context menus more heavily across the app as we keep building, to simplify the UI and make taking actions faster.
We've added text searching to SQL views to allow you to easily filter for records containing some text. We've had this functionality in Basic views for a while, but wanted to bring it over to SQL view too. This is the first step in bringing full feature-parity across both Basic and SQL views. We plan to add UI-based filtering and sorting to SQL views as well.
You can trigger a search on a SQL view by pressing Ctrl/Command+F. Note that we previously used Ctrl/Command+F for find and replace on the query—this has now switched to Ctrl/Command+Shift+F.
What's better than dark mode? An even darker dark mode!
We've updated our color scheme across the app to use darker darks, and a higher-contrast primary color on both themes. Overall, we've simplified our color palette which should increase consistency across the app.
We have lots of ideas on how to expand our theme system in the future to improve customizability, accessibility, and fun. Keep your eyes out for future changelogs by following us on Twitter (@Basedash).
This week we revamped the way you create, edit, and share views. We now have a full-page experience that allows you to configure and preview your view in real-time, across multiple layouts (table, list, and chart). This brings all view configuration options to one place, allowing you to craft your perfect view.
Newly created views are saved to Drafts which are only visible to admins. You can publish your view to the rest of your team in one click. This makes is easy to work on a view on your own time, then publish it when you're ready to share with your teammates.
Collaborators can still navigate views by searching and sorting, but only admins can edit the view to change core settings like filters and joins. Admins can access view settings by clicking the "..." menu in the header of a view, then clicking "Edit view".
We think this new format for creating and managing views simplifies the process for admins, and allows us to add more customization in the future without cluttering the view interface. We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback in the BaseDash Slack community.
We also updated the layout switcher on views to use a newly designed segmented controller. This better-exposes your layout options for working with your data, and lets you switch your layout in one click.
This week we shipped a date picker that makes it easy to update date values by picking a date on a calendar. You can also type a value directly into the input field in a simple, human-readable format. It works for both simple dates, and date-time combos, in both table layout and list layout.
Today we're launching a new list layout for views, our second ever layout type after tables. You can now easily view records in a simple list, and edit values in a comprehensive form. This new view layout is available on all new and existing views through a toggle in the header—you can use this to easily switch the layout on a view-by-view basis depending on your needs for each view.
We believe that tables are great high-density interfaces for comparing and managing data in bulk, but they can be intimidating—especially for non-technical users—because they lack informational hierarchy. Our new list layout offers a more streamlined interface, surfacing the most important data in the list itself, with access to the rest of the record's data in a familiar, easily-editable form. The form panel also gives us more space to show data inline which is especially useful for data types like rich text and JSON.
List views, like existing table views, are highly customizable. You can choose which secondary attributes to display in the list, as well as which attributes are visible and editable in the form. Some settings like filters and sorts are shared between layout types, so you don't have to define them multiple times.
List layout is available to all users starting today. It's still under active development while we iron out some bugs and improve the experience, like adding mobile support and improving customizability. If you run into any issues, please let us know in the BaseDash Community Slack channel.
