Tutorial: work as a team and follow your contributions

Share a project with other accounts as editor or viewer, and see a GitHub-style graph of everything that changes.

Projects don't have to be a one-person job. You can invite other falcondatabase accounts to a project and decide what they can do, and a contribution graph shows how active each project is.

Open the project → Settings → Members.
Type the email of the other person's account and pick a role.
Click Share.

The person must already have an account on the server. If they don't, ask them to sign up first (or, if sign up is closed, ask the administrator to create the account).

Role	What they can do
Editor	Work inside the project: tables, rows, structure, app users, analytics, storage and portal settings
Viewer	Open every page and read the data, but change nothing
Owner (you)	Everything, plus Settings: rename, API keys, export, members and deleting the project

The project then appears under Shared with you on their dashboard, in their Analytics page and in the Chrome extension. A banner reminds viewers that their access is read-only.

You can change a member's role or remove them in Settings → Members at any time, and members can leave a project from its Overview.

Your contribution graph

The dashboard shows a graph like GitHub's: one square per day of the last year, darker (or brighter in dark mode) the more changes happened that day. Hover a square to see the exact number and date.

Use the picker above the graph to see all your projects or just one. Each project's Overview also has its own graph.

What counts as a contribution

Every change to a project, wherever it comes from:

creating or deleting tables, adding or removing columns;
inserting, updating or deleting rows, from the dashboard, the REST API or the portal;
uploading or deleting files and creating buckets;
adding app users and sharing the project.

Inserting 50 rows in one request counts as one contribution, like a commit with many lines.

Recent activity

Below the graph, each project's Overview lists the latest changes and who made them:

ana inserted rows in orders (×12) · 3 minutes ago
API (service key) updated a row in products · 1 hour ago
eva@example.com deleted a row from tasks · yesterday

Changes made by dashboard accounts show their username. Changes made by the users of your app show their email, and calls with API keys show "API".

Your history is already there

Projects created before this feature get their history rebuilt from the dates already stored (when tables, rows, files and users were created), so your graph doesn't start empty.
