Bitcut

Online databasing

admin — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 12:47:06 +0000

The world turns online, whether one likes it or not. Many people tended to explain the phenomenon of Internet stressing its anonymous nature, as a place where anyone could be what he wants. People were hiding behind strange nicknames and imaginary personalities sometimes more weird, than an average sci-fi author would dream to imagine. Companies were guarding their data passionately and promoted themselves via press-releases, thoroughly weighing every word they were going to make public. (more…)

How Bitcut helps?

admin — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 10:00:50 +0000

Though Bitcut can store data, sort, filter and do all sorts of things you would expect of a database tool, it is essentially not about databasing. It is about understanding data, viewing them from different angles and discovering non-evident trends and tendencies. This is where Bitcut’s reporting, charts and drilldown are real remedy. (more…)

How to… ?

Though we try to make Bitcut as easy to use as possible, apparently it is not that intuitive. Novice users keep asking how they can do this and that. Perhaps, this is how it should be, and Bitcut, as any other feature-rich data service, requires certain explanation and training. (more…)

Update 3.1 rolled out. We are proud of our new data table screen!

admin — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:27:27 +0000

The main improvements are

table data viewing and editing, and
columns width resizing by mouse (wanted to mention it separately).

Here are the most important items on our roadmap for coming releases. You will soon be able to:

restore deleted records and tables (the data is stored, need to add a UI to let recovering it);
edit value lists for List columns;
descriptions and comments for tables and reports;
re-order columns in data table and category items in cross-tab reports;
links between tables; and
more data types for columns.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions, comments and feedback!

Third release of Bitcut

admin — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 15:08:55 +0000

Keeping the pace with one new release per month, we are now rolling out Bitcut release 3. This time it was rather tough, as we were striving to improve table usability and layout; and when you interfere with layout, you always get a real mess of new problems invoked by layout changes, that’s for sure. The third release was no exception to this rule, so the development team was committing fixes and testing them till the last minute. Anyway, here is Bitcut release 3, and it is now definitely better than before. (more…)
