Spreadsheets

This company has raised $170 million and is worth more than a $1 billion. We can’t all be wrong, now can we? Airtable works like a spreadsheet but gives you the power of a database to organize anything. Features rich fields that can hold checkboxes, dropdown menus. Has traditional grid, calendar or “kanban” (like Trello) views. Realtime collaboration with commenting and change audit trails is a huge plus. But its most powerful feature may well be its ability to add look-up fields that link to other sheets for data consistency, making Airtable a true relational database.
