If the volunteers are using a Rails app to access the Base, who is accessing the Base directly in Airtable? Was Airtable just a convenient data backend to get the Rails app up quickly?
- abhiyerra 8y agoSorry, they were using the base directly on airtable. The rails app was just a thin layer to hide the apikey and cache the data so we weren't hammering Airtable directly.
- cpeterso 8y agoThat makes sense. I see how Airtable's user permissions (Owner, Creator, Editor, Commenter, Read-only) allow someone to quickly create a useful CRUD app that is safer than letting people randomly edit a Google Spreadsheet. :)
