Your mobile app supports barcode scanning in the search/find field via use of the camera. We’d LOVE to see this functionality extended to your desktop app. Being able to scan barcodes via the built-in cameras in our laptops and iMacs would be HUGE for users who don’t have a dedicated laser-scanner.

Thanx!

Another thought… Our iPhones, running the Airtable app, could link to the desktop app and act as a remote camera. I bet there are a bunch of use cases where having a hand-held input device linked to the desktop UI is ideal.
