Basevolt v0.8.4: UI Glow-up, Webhook Retries, and No-SQL Magic đź’…
Hey Indie Hackers!
It’s time for another Basevolt update. For v0.8.4, I focused on reducing "friction" and "mystery"—the two things that kill productivity when managing databases.
Here’s what’s new in the lab:
đź’… The UI Glow-up: Side Sheets are here
Gone are the days of jumping between pages just to check a record. Record details now slide open in a Side Sheet. This gives you more screen real estate and makes browsing linked records a breeze. It feels less like a database and more like a polished product.
đź”— Webhook Log Center (No more "Silent Failures")
We’ve all been there: a webhook fails, and you have no idea why. I’ve launched a dedicated Webhook Log Center where you can see every execution in real-time. The best part? If something goes wrong, you can retry with one click.
✨ No-SQL? No Stress.
I wanted to make complex data relations as easy as Notion. With the new Lookup & Rollup features, you can pull customer emails into invoices, calculate totals, or count records just by pointing and clicking. No complex SQL queries required.
🗺️ DataMap & Auto-IDs
DataMap: You can now switch between a clean UI View and a deep-dive Data View instantly.
ID Generation: For those using plain strings, we now support auto-generating UUIDs or ULIDs.
Basevolt is still the same local-first tool you love, just smoother, smarter, and with way less clicking around.
I’d love to hear your thoughts:
What’s the most annoying part of your current admin workflow? I’m looking for more "boilerplate taxes" to kill in the next version!
