Show HN: Bell+Cat – A database in your browser. Saves to Google Drive (bellpluscat.com)

I'm really into being organized at work. Also a fan of using the cloud for everything. I keep my files in Google Drive and use 1Password for keeping track of all my accounts.

What I don't enjoy is using a separate service for every little thing. One for todo's, a different one for CRM, etc. Also not a fan of spreadsheets. I just can't get them to do what I want. I was looking for something simple like a database in my browser. Something with tables and columns that I could customize to fit my use-case. I'm a bit of a builder so I built it. It's exactly what I needed and use it daily to organize everything.

Will do a little write up soon on how I use it for a personal CRM with my exported Linked contacts. It's really easy to use the "Import" function to get my data into Bell+Cat


Can you talk better about which technologies you have used to build it? :)


It's almost entirely in Elm Lang. I choose Elm since in addition to making me more productive, I can ensure that Bell+Cat is rock solid and minimizes bugs.
