This looks fantastic! I was drooling during the demo video - you've improved on so many things from the standard spreadsheet at once.
If I could make a request for the API: it's almost impossible to get a simple JSON serialization of a table in Google Spreadsheets. There are so many times where I just want to make a really simple MVP with a backend data source, but don't want a full-fledged Firebase database. If I could just stick my data in an Airtable sheet and point my Javascript to load it and create the page dynamically, that would be ideal.
- howsta 12y agoThanks very much! Re: API, yes absolutely. Our web and mobile apps already use an internal API that uses RESTful JSON routes for reading tables, updating rows, etc. If you want to chat more about it or discuss the specifics of what you need from the API, you can reach me directly at howie@airtable.com
- victorantos 12y agoYou could try http://apifox.com http://apifox.com to create a simple JSON api instead of spreadsheet
- j_s 12y agoRead-only JSON data from Google Sheets is tricky only because of (1) finding the right URL and (2) ignoring all the cruft. If you are looking to update the Sheet too I've not explored that far; otherwise let me know which of the above you're having trouble with!
- adrenalinup 12y agoYou should give prismic.io a spin. You basicaly define data format in as JSON, CRUD interface is generated just from data description. The data you you add is also JSON you can easily retrive. You can query the data with predicates. Did a few projects with it, didn't need a database, or create a CRUD, such a relive.
