Hey Product Hunt ๐Ÿ‘‹ After first launching on PH 3 years ago, weโ€™re excited to launch the next iteration of Basedash. Basedash is a better way to make internal apps. We give you a beautiful interface, CRUD functionality, and powerful real-time collaborationโ€”all you need to do is connect your database and hook up your API. It takes 5 minutes (demo video). Today, we're shipping 2 new major features: Apps and Actions. Apps lets you deploy fully-functional internal apps to your different teams. In a couple minutes, you can create pages that pull data from your database with full CRUD functionality. You can also write SQL queries for more complex calculations, and use them to automatically generate charts. Other than that, you don't need to write any codeโ€”everything just works out-of-the-box. Actions let you call APIs right from your apps. You can connect both internal and third-party APIs, which let you set up actions for things like refunding a user on Stripe, sending an email through SendGrid, or updating a lead on HubSpot. You can also connect to something like Zapier or Make for even more powerful workflows. We're really excited to see what kinds of apps you build with these new features! We'll be hanging out on Product Hunt all day so feel free to drop us your questions ๐Ÿ˜„
Gordi Braun
@maxmusing Congrats Max! Just a quick question. Would I be able to change live database entries with my business team without screwing up the whole prod system with you guys?
Max Musing
@gordi_braun yes! We specifically designed the tool with business users in mind. You have full control over what parts of your database are accessible to different users through Apps. We also abstract away most of the technical database details, so it's just like using a well-designed CRM.
I mentioned a solution for internal apps a couple of weeks back on my live stream The Weekly SaaS Hunt. I love the fact that we got options on the market and we're reaching a state where you don't waste time on internal scripting. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ My suggestion, if you don't already have this: Blueprints/Templates > Have one-click deploy apps where entry level folk can just change a few config fields for data location and tables to pull from etc, but everything else is packaged. That as well as a large tutorial set, youtube series on how to create X app.
Tom Johnson
@florin_biro Thanks for the suggestion! We have talked a lot internally about prebuilt apps or templates so that teams can get started a lot more quickly. Hopefully it's something we're able to build in the future.

I wish I would have had Basedash at a previous company. I spent months as a PM building out internal tools. Well done!
Amirali Nurmagomedov
Basedash is a great product for anyone looking to quickly ship internal apps. The interface is beautiful and easy to use, and the CRUD functionality is top-notch. The real-time collaboration is also a great feature, and the fact that it takes just 5 minutes to set up is a huge plus. Congrats ?makers !
Ted Spare
Congrats on the launch! We used Basedash to scale a project to 9k users in 2 weeks. Shared queries and prefilled inputs would've opened so many doors.
Max Musing
@tedspare thanks Ted! Love to hear success stories like this, now let's scale that project to 9M users ๐Ÿ’ช
Sarim Malik
Basedash was already super useful but this new release makes it so much more powerful. Can't wait to play around with Actions, seems very cleanly executed as well.
Tom Johnson
@sarimmalik Excited for you to kick the tires! There's so much more that's now possible with Actions, can't wait to see how people use them.
Max Musing
@sarimmalik thanks man! Would love to show you around, lots you can do with actions :)
Raman Ksaitor
Awesome product! Is MongoDB support coming in the future?
Max Musing
@ksaitor Thanks! We're not planning to add a native MongoDB integration in the near future, but we're working on supporting arbitrary APIs as data sources. That would let you pull data from MongoDB databases into our layouts and trigger actions on your records.

@ksaitor @maxmusing Hey! Can you give a rough estimate on this?
Max Musing
@ksaitor @oyeakhil Aiming for end of this quarter, but no promises :)

Congrats on the launch, ?makers! Love how the narrative flows perfectly. Bravo @tomjohndesign ๐Ÿ‘
Tom Johnson
@fmerian Thanks Florent! It's great to see the new site and features live.

Hey there, I'm Jeremy, one of the developers at Basedash. My focus for the past few months has been on Actions. Let me know if you have any questions. By the way, if you'd like a detailed description of what Actions are and how they work, our documentation would be a good place to start: https://docs.basedash.com/actions
Kunal Gupta
This is interesting! One of the best parts of Basedash is how fast it is to spin up a bunch of support processes and tools that I could share with my team, but it came at the expense of being unable to handle complex operations. This new update gives you the near-instant speed of implementation of Basedash, but now it can handle every operation possible by allowing you to delegate some actions to an external API. That's a big update.
Grant Shaddick
Awesome launch - you guys make everything look SO slick.
Max Musing
@9rantys thanks Grant! Certainly helps that we use Tella for our videos ๐Ÿ˜‰
Kedar Chandrayan
Great product which solves needs for all, especially start-ups. Congrats on the launch!
Max Musing
@kedar_chandrayan3 thanks Kedar! With this launch we spent a lot of focus on making it easy to scale your internal apps with Basedash as you grow.

vindeep chaudhari
Congratulations on superb launch! I am certain it can help small teams build better.
Tom Johnson
@vindeepjr_chaudhari we do too! It's amazing how frequently we need to add our own internal workflows to keep up with an ever changing product. I can't imagine working without it, though we're admittedly pretty biased ๐Ÿ˜†
