@latenitefilms because I want a cloud accessible database. And their pricing for such is not for single users.
@latenitefilms I'm actually well down the path of using a system I’ve built except with Supabase instead of iCloud. But I keep thinking it is madness and I wish that I could just use Filemaker Pro... Looking at the suggested replacements briefly scares me with the amount I’d have to learn to use that system.
@recollir Thank you!
@recollir I am not opposed to self-hosting. Can you share the OSS options you know of? Thank you!

In past lives I used FileMaker Pro hard, and I loved it.

I need to create some new databases, and I'm looking for something that I can use with the data stored in the cloud or on a network, and web ui I can cutomize for browsing/admin and mobile apps I can design for data entry.

Thank you for suggestions on modern FMP alternatives for solo owners or very small teams? Free tiers sought as our usage is likely that small.

@robchapman they feel like a injury waiting to happen, I hate doing them!

Do I know anyone at Google Workspace?

I am in the frustrating hell of trying to get approved by Goodstack, meanwhile TechSoup approves quickly for Slack.

Our new foundation really needs email set up and would like go use Google.

Ultra runners, I’m the creator and race director of the Copper Kings 100.

The 2026 dates are June 26-27, in Butte Montana.

Registration opened this week and there are just 19 spots left.
