Does anyone have a great self hosted competitor to Airtable with a comparative mobile app?

Baserow

Grist doesn't have a mobile app, but has pretty decent UI on mobile browsers.

Budibase has its own database and can connect to other data databases.

On top of that: It's open source/supports self hosting Supports JS Design/interfaces are much more flexible

Don’t forget plain old Excel, which every office worker knows how to use.

Not to mention the original microsoft access database.

No one I know now uses Access, even those who used it previously. That being said, give the average office worker Excel and if they know their way around the software, they will find ways to do extremely cool things with it. I've seen a bunch of cool shit built on excel, including a full blown POS system.
