I'm honestly really excited by this. Airtable transformed my spreadsheet experience, and I've long wished for something I can self host locally to be able to store more sensitive data (like bank statements).
Another open-source alternative to Airtable is Baserow. Looks like it's a bit more basic than Firetable, but they have a good road map posted on their website.

Heads up: This seems to be built on top of Firestore. I'm not saying security can't be good[0], but it seems it can't be hosted locally.
[0]: In fact I guess in the long run the security of Firestore will be better than anything most of us can do at home.
The dev here commented that Firestore was used for the MVP and that they're planning on supporting other DBs in the future: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24636238
That's why I'm not taking it for a spin just yet.

Opened sourced in July it seems: https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow
(alternativeto had a comment from June saying it was closed source.)
