Cool ghost, @howietl. Thanks!👻😎 ...I put the YouTube channel on Autoplay during my break and I'm looking forward to watching everything at some point. Your presentation to SXSW 2016 is quite easy to listen to. Do you speak at a lot of conferences?
@kristindrysdale Heh, thank you! To be honest, I don't do very many, and I find it too cringeworthy to watch myself afterwards : p. I'm glad you liked it!
I use this product every day. In particular, I've been using their API so that Airtable becomes a realtime database for some side-projects hosted on https://zeit.co/now. Highly recommended!
Hi ProductHunt! And thanks @joshwilliams for hunting us! After many months of hard work from our team, today we're announcing the public release of Airtable V2, which includes a new design, new ways to visualize your content (beyond the grid), and downloadable Mac, Windows, and Android apps.
Airtable is not just a spreadsheet replacement, nor just a user-friendly database. We think of it as a completely new medium for expressing and collaborating on structured information. Some examples of what I mean:
-How Zapier uses Airtable to automate customer feedback collection: https://airtable.news/closing-th...
-How the Jacksonville Jaguars uses Airtable to manage their marketing and analytics: https://airtable.news/the-team-b...
-How WeWork uses Airtable to build their community spaces: https://airtable.news/catalyzing...
Over 2 million bases have now been created by Airtable users, and your support has been crucial to our success from day one. We have an exciting roadmap of product improvements ahead, and we're excited to share the journey with you!
If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to post here or email me directly at howie@airtable.com. Thanks again!

EU based companies are prohibited from exporting personal data to overseas-based service providers unless an exception applies. For Airtable, the only one that could apply is the Provacy Shield.
Pros:
Looks great - I could deploy it tomorrow.
Cons:
I will never be able to because Airtable is not Privacy Shield compliant and, they tell me, ”have no plans to be”.
This is pretty awesome. I spent 3 days building a better visualization for my Google Sheets using Awesome Table. I could have done something similar with Airtable in 30 minutes. Maybe Google is watching. Otherwise, they should.
We are constantly searching for something to help us work with 1M+ row spreadsheets. We were hopefully last time we looked at Airtable, until we saw there is a 2MB limit on CSV uploads :( Has this been fixed?
@howietl Not entirely sure what that means, but these are spreadsheets that we have humans reading and editing. I will infer from your answer that you have no plans to increase that limit though. Thanks.
@ethosventures In the linked twitter thread, I note that we do plan on increasing the 2MB limit soon, but have no short-term plans to support million+ record bases.
@howietl Good to know. We are looking for an Excel alternative that enables online sharing and collaboration of large files. Definitely more human-scale than db alternative. Thanks for the info!
Just downloaded, and just wow, great product!
edit: I do hope you offer a fixed one off price for us users who would care to utilize it for less intensive purposes than the subrscribers
I have been looking for such a solution for more than a year. To be straight honest spreadsheets is something you can't avoid while doing business, but all the existing solutions are total crap that haven't really changed since 90s. Finally, somebody did this. Awesome product. Simply in love)
I started a small non-profit 3 years ago and we don't have much in the budget for database programs. Airtable has revolutionized donor management, keeping up with info about the homeless people we hang out with, and even data from mailchimp. Realtime updates have revolutionized collaborating on a document-- no more trying to remember who saved last. So incredible to use on the go as a bonus!!! Well done, Airtable!!!! Thank you!
@howietl, guys, what can I say...
This product is simply AMAZING. I've long awaited for a solid alternative to Evernote and finally, today, after almost giving up, this hunt made me jump on my chair :)
Thanks for putting together such fine tool, I estimate a full weekend of import/export to do a memory dump in it ;)
Cheers!
PS - love the API feature, makes the possibilities endless.
PPS - if you add attachment OCR, everything would become insanely insane.
@matteobalzarini@howietl I've been a fan of this product for a while now, have imagined different ways of using it, however note taking like Evernote is not really one of them. How do you envision using it for notes?
I have just started using it, so I'm still getting proficient at it. So far, I'm in love. I had been digging for a tool to help me with content management and strategy, and I couldn't be happier with what Airtable lets me do.
Pros:
Simple to use, but great at displaying complexities
