@shibao @6EQUJ5 oh god one of my clients uses airtable and that shit is so fucking bad, christ
bad enough to make me reverse engineer the binary protocol their web frontend uses, which btw is CPU-bottlenecked even on a 10-core zen 5. the public API is poorly documented and too limited to do fuck all (especially with non-owner access level)

> airtable
i ilked nocodb until they took VC money. grist has always been honest about VC (no sso tax, either, but its still carved vc-ware.)

grist is somewhat neat architecturally since its running like micropython for the formulas and storing in sqlite. it's a lot more like "spreadsheet but big," for whatever thats worth.
