Episode notes

The chapter explores setting up and hosting Dropbase using a Docker image on a local machine, emphasizing the self-hosting aspect for data privacy. It discusses building internal tools using Dropbase, connecting to data sources securely, permission systems, and pricing strategies. The chapter also covers step-by-step tutorials on building apps, creating functions, interacting with UI elements, and enhancing user experiences with autocomplete features and AI integration.

Do you find yourself or your team building internal apps frequently for your company? Are you familiar with the term "forms over data"? They are super empowering for your org but they can be pretty repetitive and you might find yourself spending more time than you'd like working on them rather than core products and services. I invited Jimmy Chan from Dropbase to tell us about their service who's tagline is "Build internal web apps with just Python." It's a cool service and a fun conversation.
