About NocoDB
NocoDB shifts from spreadsheet-database into a multi-surface workspace with a clearer paid tier.
NocoDB is on a tight release cadence with substantial feature drops layered on top of the database. April introduced Map View, three new field types (UUID, GeoData and others), and NocoDocs — a real document editor that sits next to the data. May has continued with multi-column form layouts, Postgres ENUM mirroring, Bookmarks for cross-workspace context, Smart Text fields, and Mermaid diagrams inside NocoDocs. The release notes now consistently split features across CE/Free vs Paid/Enterprise.
