Add Notion-like inline databases

[SaadBazaz]

Hey,
The only reason which prevents me from totally yeeting Notion out the window is the "inline database" feature, which enables one to maintain data in many creatives ways.

AFFiNE does this, however their self-hosted version is hardly in an alpha stage, if even anything at all.

If we can get this (even a third-party plugin works!), we're set!

Followup to this:

If we could attach NocoDB as a plugin, and in every row of the table, add a hidden column which links to an Outline page, we could have a bidirectional sync between Outline and NocoDB.

I think Outline + NocoDB can be an amazing combo to achieve fun, creative Databases

This feature would be incredible. It would indeed make Outline relevant for many more usecases!

I saw in the docs that there is an embedding for Airtable databases, would it be so different for NocoDB ?

[SaadBazaz]

There's Airtable, but that's more like an embed/webview/iframe. Sure, it's nice to have, but I'm talking at least one step more deeper than that. e.g. actually storing the page's ID in the table, so it's searchable, etcetera.

So a bit more customised, rather than just an embed.

Ok I see, even more on board then!

Further followup...

Nocodb + Outline

I'm thinking of a complete Notion alternative using self-hosted projects. I think the ingredients are all there, if @getoutline collaborates with @nocodb, we can achieve complex Inline Databases within Outline. No need to add unnecessary feature creep, just reuse from another project!

I'll see if I can design a UI for this.
