Product looks great, congrats on the launch. I would reconsider the positioning of the product if I were in your shoes.

As danpalmer said, I suspect it might be tricky to ensure data integrity if non-technical people are bypassing app-level validations.

That said, while I may not use this for my mission-critical data, I do think there's a lot of potential in using this as a headless CMS. I'm currently using Airtable, and its API limits make it unusable for anything apart from light workloads. Also, doesn't have webhooks.

But, if I can use BaseDash instead as my CMS and have my marketing team handle the data through a familiar interface, while design + dev source the data into Figma & a static site through an API respectively, I see myself paying for this.

Absolutely, we have a couple customers using BaseDash as a headless CMS. Edit history is especially nice here because you can always look through past iterations of content.
