Hi there,
a friend of mine lately asked me if there is something nice available
to be able to
- Create "custom objects" with "custom attributes" in a database
- Manage these objects via WebGUI and frequently updating the state of
these objects/attributes
- Create reports/view data via WebGUI
- I think running this locally on several devices and syncing data
afterwards would be nice

He wants to trace trends for topics, related to his business
I was wondering if there isnt already something awesome in the FOSS
environment available but was not able to find something

Maybe you guys can point me into a certain direction

I have been using ParsePlatform a few years ago. Maybe worth a try for
you :) however it does not cover all your points and is more developer
focused

[Mathesar](https://mathesar.org/) is an open-source app that you can
self-host to do much of what you mention. I work on Mathesar and can
answer more questions about it here or via DM.
