Very cool. I love how easy it is to use, and that it's open-source. Trying it out with a few projects now!

@anais_c @seannnnnnnnnnnn Thank you Sean! So glad to hear from you -- hope you've been doing well too!
The custom layouts and the connectors - both seem easy to use even for a i-dont-like spreadsheets hooman like me.
Congratulations folks. I can understand you guys must be feeling intense. We also launched yesterday ModeMagic 2.0 :)
@saifsadiq1995 Congrats on that too, looks like a super successful launch!
Ahhhh are you kidding me this is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! It appears to be 100000× better than Airtable AND it’s open source?!?!? 🤯 My mind is blown — I really hope it’s at least 50% as great as it looks. 🤞
If you're scrambling around with multiple spreadsheets or considering expensive database software that nobody in your organization will know how to use, then stop! Grist is a great solution for data management, whether a solopreneur or a large size company.
Grist is flexible, has a structure similar to spreadsheets (so it's easy to use) and supports multiple users that can work in tandem. We made the switch from a Google Sheets/ Airtable combination and are glad that we did!
It's Very different from airtable though, much more suited for data analysis and Business Management. They also have a very supportive team and community.
Highly recommended.
@chris_journeyman_scott Thank you so much for this great and thorough review, Chris! 🙏 Your support means a lot. See you on the forum! 😊
Congrats on the launch!! Grist is amazing, I'm using it in two different companies and it's changed how we organize and manage data. The API makes it super-easy to add, remove and retrieve the data we need when we need it. It's great for connecting lead gathering for example, which we connected with Albacross.
I love the product, as a free lancer it saves me time using the app instead of excel spreadsheet. The support is great. The only thing I wish they dave the time of loading big database like 50k.
@shmulik_israeli Thank you for using Grist and supporting us on Product Hunt! Oh yea, we hear that feedback. We're definitely committed to improving performance on large databases. We want to go even further! 🚀
Really excited to be getting my teeth into this tool.. As an early adopter it's so nice to see it getting tons of love on here.. I am really hoping that you guys consider buildng out a community for people to share their own templates with other premium users, as the current options could use some variety! Hope the positive press gets you a ton of new signups!!
@jon_moore1 That's a great idea about a marketplace of templates. We've been thinking about that too.
Congrats!
I found a lot of great use cases for Grist.
I have already used it for:
1. fast data analysis by exporting data from multiple systems, super fast matching and calculations 2. helper for manually moving Prestashop to wordpress + woocommerce for some old site, it was the they faster than dealing with all the data using sheets
3. as a database for scraping some data from the sites using API, developing it right now and looks like it could be a gem for me. Scrapping some data → put it in grist to collect historical data + combined with n8n integration to collect some other external data with prebuilt integration.
So it will be a marketing tool for competitors analysis and comparing it with my client's results.
Thanks @konstantin_fedorov! Very glad to hear it's working well, and look forward to seeing you more on our forum :)
@konstantin_fedorov Thank you so much for breaking down your use case, Konstantin! 🙌
Super handy tool. I hope this takes off and becomes a solid competitor to AirTable. Otherwise, I'd hate to move transfer all data back again if Grist flops. 🙏
I'm running my entire online business uising Grist : Light CRM, income, expenses and margin follow up, key metrics tracking and product catalogue management. It's fast and easy. I love it.
@fabienpaupier Thank you, Fabien!! 🙏💪 I appreciate you taking the time to support us on Product Hunt!
