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?
@ethosventures Airtable is for human-scale information: https://twitter.com/howietl/stat...
@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!
Well done Howie and the team! Airtable is my CRM and it suits me really well. It's also used for our home insurance inventory record as well as organising holidays :)
One feature request, ability to edit written updates in the sidebar history?
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!

Oh my stars & garters... This is nice. This is VERY nice. @airtable @jw @eden_halperin @zoelle @aofstad @nathan_eidelson @jonathanhsieh @katherineduh @jb_bakst @kasrak @howietl @emmettnicholas @matt_bush @patriciazli
I use Airtable every single day and love how they've paired simplicity with power. Kudos to @howietl and the team and congrats on the new launch!
Also, the new launch vid might just be a tie with the GrowthHackers Projects one!
@howietl This is probably the gold standard BOM template at the moment, so it'd be great to have it imported to your platform!

Frankly, I didn't know I needed this until I saw it. Excited to use it for my test... tomorrow... :)
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!
@rauchg would you mind sharing some details about how your integration with Airtable is set up? I'm also exploring some options.
@espinchi @rauchg I did something similar with Hyperdev, but actually considered Zeit Now at the beginning, but unfortunately my 20 deployments ran out too soon: https://medium.com/the-backlog-b...
Just found out about this through a co-worker and it looks great @howietl. Has anyone find success using Airtable for their startup? What are some use cases that have worked for you?
Love that product video!
Also, the product itself looks really good - will give it a try! :)
@mattiheubner Thanks! If you ever have feedback or suggestions, we're all ears : )
"Airtable can do just about anything"... except comply with EU data protection law. Let me know when you're Privacy Shield compliant and then I'll have another look...
Huge fan of Airtable. If you do any work in spreadsheets today, worth trying out. Lots to choose from, but linked columns might be my favorite feature.
