Hi there, a friend of mine lately asked me if there is something nice available to be able to

  • Create "custom objects" with "custom attributes" in a database
  • Manage these objects via WebGUI and frequently updating the state of these objects/attributes
  • Create reports/view data via WebGUI
  • I think running this locally on several devices and syncing data afterwards would be nice

He wants to trace trends for topics, related to his business I was wondering if there isnt already something awesome in the FOSS environment available but was not able to find something

Maybe you guys can point me into a certain direction

I have been using ParsePlatform a few years ago. Maybe worth a try for you :) however it does not cover all your points and is more developer focused

Graphite is a time series database.

https://graphiteapp.org/

for instrumenting and Grafana for visualization.

But definitely requires a lot of setup.

Mathesar is an open-source app that you can self-host to do much of what you mention. I work on Mathesar and can answer more questions about it here or via DM.
