Donations and running Grubba

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

As you know : Grubba is free, for everyone.
But keeping Grubba running is expensive, so every donation is very appreciated.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all people who donated to us in the past, thanks to you we can pay a (small) part of our bills.

—————————
Grubba is so called Donationware. If you use Grubba and like it,
you can make a (small) donation to support us.

Still alive and kicking!

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

Lately i get questions regarding our lack of blogging. Questions like: ‘are you still active’, and such. Yes, we are! Still alive and kicking. We are still developing Grubba and keep doing this.

We were just a bit blogging-tired. But hey: look here, new post!

New function : preview records on browse and list page

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Today we implemented a new function on the browse and list page.

Many users wanted more fields to show up on these pages.
This would slow the system too much, so we decided to do it this way.

Click on the questionmark icon before the quicksearchfield and a popup will load the first 5 fields of the record.

Hope you’re happy with this new function. Please send feedback via the contact form or post a comment below.

News: updates on the public pages

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Not big news, but i finally had some time left to improve the navigation of the public pages a bit.

When launched we had to cut some corners on our design in our attempt to make the 1st january deadline. So we made a few ugly and - not - so - user - friendly choices.

I think it’s better now, next thing is to get rid of the ugly tabs on the info page, but thats for later…

Why is Grubba still in Beta?

Friday, December 11th, 2009

We get this question a lot, so let’s spend a post in this topic…

January 2009 we launched Grubba. It was 95% bug free, at least we thought so. But based on your feedback we fixed quite a few bugs the last year (see our news plugin for the bugfixes).

Until we are 100% bugfree it will remain Beta.  So i am afraid we never get rid of the beta tag…

Bugs are one thing, but not the most important reason why we are still in beta.  We code Grubba for you - the end user -. With that in mind we value your feedback a lot. We get good ideas for improvements every day. Our TODO list never get’s shorter. Because we are continuously improving Grubba, we decided to stick with the beta tag anyway.

So what are we up to in the near future?

A few major new functions:
* a desktop quick launcher
*  export to MS Word and Openoffice with  .rtf
* website plugin (share your data on your own website or on a Grubba subwebsite)

And some improvements:
* better date-searching (date-range)
* export in alphabetical order
* more tutorials
* more templates
* Spanish translation
* Adding up currency fields

And fixing a few known bugs.

I have to say - at the risk of sounding like an old man - i don’t understand twitter…

A few testimonials

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

We’ve recieved a few new testimonials/reviews. We are proud of our work and enjoy your feedback very much, so please keep them coming!

Thank you again for the GRUBBA service

I just started to use Grubba a couple of weeks ago and I am really pleased how it worked out for me. I will be recommending Grubba to people I know. Thank You

Thank you so much for grubba! It is an amazing database tool

Great product! Thank you.

If you want a simple and lightweight app to help you create and manage databases, and you aren’t keen on installing yet another system-resource eating standalone app, Grubba is an excellent choice. Not only is it user-friendly and well-designed, it also has a free version that supports most conceivable uses.

Just wanted to tell you that your database is great. Didn’t take my brain power to set it up and it works like a charm.
Bob

We needed a quick client database. I first tried MS Access, but after a day i was ready to throw the ^%^&$ thing out of the window! So i searched the internet and found Grubba. 15 minutes later the job was done, including telling my co-workers how to use it.
