Working towards the 1.0 release of Baserow mainly involved making small changes and fixing bugs to create a stable new version. By giving us your feature requests, we were able to create a roadmap for 2021 based on what was most popular. Thank you for completing the survey.
Improved self-hosting
To make self hosting easier, we have created a Baserow Cloudron app. If you’re not familiar with Cloudron, we recommend checking out their great tool. The Baserow app is not yet available in the Cloudron app store, but you can follow these instructions to try it out on Cloudron.
After last month’s real-time collaboration release, the infrastructure dependencies won’t change much compared to previous releases. This means we can now focus on improving the self hosting experience. We want to support more platforms like Cloudron, Digital Ocean marketplace, Heroku one-click deploy, YunoHost, and other platforms that make self hosting easy.
Redesigned left sidebar
In some cases, the original sidebar wasn’t very useful. Switching between workspaces and the big blue sidebar weren’t ideal. So we’ve designed and implemented a cleaner and calmer sidebar that allows for additional menu items and improved switching between workspaces.
New roadmap for 2021
Many people filled out the survey for new features, and we really appreciate it! Based on the data provided, we have created a new roadmap that can be viewed on the homepage. We were surprised to learn that searching in a table was the most requested feature by far. It’s relatively easy to implement, but we didn’t realize how popular it would be. Below is a small table with the survey results. The percentages don’t add up to 100% because everyone could choose three features.

| 43.2.8% | Searching in table | March |
| 39.8% | Exporting to CSV, Excel, XML and JSON | May |
| 31.8% | Importing Excel, XML and JSON | May |
| 29.5% | Undo and redo | August |
