You mean things like Linux, LibreOffice, Any browser?
The things that they are copying are themselves also copies of earlier products. Airtable can be traced back to MS Access, DBase and I'm sure there's even older examples.
- I_am_tiberius 6y agoI just said I'm not welcoming it. But I also distinguish between copying in terms of implementing the same protocol/standard and copying an innovative product that is unique (or was unique when it came out). I don't think in this discussion there is a right or wrong but I think that if you put 10 years of thinking into a concept and another person just copies it it's just not fair.
- tthun 6y agoLow-code database builders have been around for a long time , Airtable did not come up with this concept, just a slick UX/ implementation of one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCL_Domino https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCL_Domino
