NocoDB vs r2dii.analysis: at a glance
What is NocoDB?
Interfaces gets the permissions layer it needed, one release after launching.
NocoDB ships monthly, and the last two releases are a launch and its follow-through. 2026.08.0 introduced Interfaces, custom app surfaces built over a base; 2026.08.1 gives that layer what it was missing — per-dashboard visibility and editing permissions, field edit permissions enforced on interface pages, team-granted access, and page reordering. Alongside it the grid gains realtime presence with per-collaborator colours and jump-to-cursor, folders for grouping tables and views, up to three frozen fields, and nested records in List View.
What is r2dii.analysis?
The climate-alignment maths behind PACTA, now stable and maintained rather than reshaped
r2dii.analysis computes the target-setting side of PACTA: market-share and sectoral decarbonisation targets that measure a loan book or portfolio against climate scenarios. It sits downstream of the matched company data the sibling packages produce. The 0.5.0 release declared it lifecycle-stable and handed maintenance to a new lead, and releases since have been narrow corrections rather than new methods.

Interfaces gets the permissions layer it needed, one release after launching.
◆ Current state
NocoDB ships monthly, and the last two releases are a launch and its follow-through. 2026.08.0 introduced Interfaces, custom app surfaces built over a base; 2026.08.1 gives that layer what it was missing — per-dashboard visibility and editing permissions, field edit permissions enforced on interface pages, team-granted access, and page reordering. Alongside it the grid gains realtime presence with per-collaborator colours and jump-to-cursor, folders for grouping tables and views, up to three frozen fields, and nested records in List View.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is consistent: NocoDB launches a surface, then spends the next release making it governable and usable at team scale. Presence and folders are collaboration parity rather than new direction — the directional bet was Interfaces, and this release is that bet being made safe for the eighty people who only need to approve something. The permission system is now the same one across tables, fields, dashboards, and interface pages, which is the consolidation that makes the app layer sellable.
◆ Prediction
Write-back actions and embedding are the remaining pieces app builders expect from Interfaces, and the availability tables in each release suggest they land on the paid tier.

The climate-alignment maths behind PACTA, now stable and maintained rather than reshaped
◆ Current state
r2dii.analysis computes the target-setting side of PACTA: market-share and sectoral decarbonisation targets that measure a loan book or portfolio against climate scenarios. It sits downstream of the matched company data the sibling packages produce. The 0.5.0 release declared it lifecycle-stable and handed maintenance to a new lead, and releases since have been narrow corrections rather than new methods.
◆ Where it's heading
The history is a package converging. Early releases churn the output contract of target_market_share() and target_sda() — which sectors appear, which years, how missing production is treated — and each change alters the numbers users get. The ald-to-abcd rename runs across several releases before completing, and by 0.5.0 the churn has stopped, with three older summarise functions soft-deprecated and the package marked stable. What remains is edge-case correctness in target coverage.
◆ Prediction
With the package marked stable and the terminology migration finished, the soft-deprecated summarise functions are the obvious next thing to remove outright.
