I have seen airtable available at work, but have never used it. What do you use it for, and what do you mean its close to being a solid database replacement?

- gkoberger 4y agoThis definitely isn't the main usecase; it's mostly used as a spreadsheet application. But, I use it for a few random tools. I have an app I made that shows schedules. Rather than using a DB and building out an admin interface myself and giving people access to it, it just pulls from the Airtable DB. I also often use it to export data to, so having signups or things like that go into Airtable rather than a DB. I could use a DB for all of these, but Airtable's UI is super nice and makes it really pleasant to edit (vs a crappy form I set up)
