I'm looking at using airtable to use as a database for my startup as airtable provides simple implementation and data management features that make setting up data management simple.
However there is one blaring issue that makes this difficult and that is the fact that you cannot set an exact number to offset your search by.
I can work around the fact that you can't directly search by linked records by id or other parameters and have to use lookups and formulas to make this happen but not being able to offset makes me consider using another service.
If you could setup something like this you could be very popular with startups as we need something quick simple and powerful to get our MVPs up and running quickly so we can test the market.
