I'm still confused by what usecases Airtable or this has. Are there any for project management/app design and dev that can't be done by Trello/Notion?

- fouc 6y agoAirtable is basically more like an online version of MS Access/dBase/FoxPro, database + forms/presentation. So it's very customizable and you can essentially roll your own project management app, or CRM or whatever you can think of.
- input_sh 6y agoAs someone who used all of those notes: 1. You can embed Airtables. Combine that with a Markdown editor and you have a powerful note taking device similar to Notion. 2. Public forms. Basically you can turn the table into a form and the data users enter into it become rows in an Airtable. Not achievable with Trello/Notion. 3. It has a functioning API, unlike Notion. I can add/retrieve/modify data via scripts/IFTTT/Zapier. 4. Org charts and Gantt charts.
