Is Sheets free or do you have to have a paid google account? I just used it at work (paid
account) and wondered if a normal consumer could get it for free.

I'm a little surprised noone mentioned Google sheets or something that's cloud
native? Probably only accessible from newer systems though but I've debated it since
it would be instantly accessible from phone also.

If you’re okay using a MS product that you can find cheap, Microsoft Access is pretty
good. Lotsa tutorials and works well for small databases. Only drawback is it’s Windoze.

That may be the rub. The installation and update process is... well,
let's just say it
gives me fits and I spent a non-trivial amount of time working out the

it to say that I think quite poorly indeed of composer and yarn, and
really don't think
that there needs to be a software build process for a webapp written in
PHP.

that. What I can
speak to, however, is text mode. Loading my install in Lynx shows a
somewhat bewildering
version of the UI and the ever helpful message "Please activate
Javascript to use all
features," which I think pretty much says it all. I'm not able to do
anything meaningful
with it from Lynx, even after logging in.
After looking at it some more and playing with the online model they have for testing my
excitement has waned. Add to this the fact that it doesn't let you produce simple
pages (a la your issues with Lynx) and I think my search continues. The idea is what I am
looking for but this particular execution doesn't do it for me. I may have to buckle
down and learn SQL after all... Or some other DB language/program that has been around
since the DOS days and is still in use today....
